Dear Mr. Maaia:

On June 15,2006, Full Channel TV, Inc. (Full Channel) filed the above-captioned application to
register a C-Band and Ku-Band receive-only earth station. In addition, Full Channel filed a
request for Special Temporary Authority to operate this earth station. Pursuant to Section
25.1 12(a)(l) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. $25.1 12(a)(l), we dismiss both applications as
defective without prejudice to refiling.

All applicants seeking licenses or registrations for Receive-Only must include all items of
information required by FCC Form 3 12 and its associated Schedule B. Full Channel's
application, however, does not include several fields of required information, including frequency
band and emission designators (See questions E43-E59). In response to question E18 of
Schedule B, Full Channel indicates that frequency coordination is not required. Earth station
applicants, however, must complete frequency coordination if they intend to operate in frequency
bands with terrestrial services on a co-primary basis. These co-primary bands include the C-band
and certain portions of the Ku-band, including the bands that Full Channel seeks to operate.

Further, the Commission does not license or register receive-only FSS stations operating with
ALSAT-designated satellites in the 1 1.7-12.2 GHz portion of the Ku-band. See Deregulation of
Domestic Receive-Only Satellite Earth Stations, Second Report and Order, CC Docket No. 78-
374, (adopted March 25, 1986).' Because FSS is the only primary allocation in this band,
operations to FSS receive-only Ku-band earth stations are protected against interference from the
operations of any other communications service. As such, licensing or registering these earth
stations is unnecessary.

If the proposed earth station will be operating in bands other than the 3700-4200 MHz band, Full
Channel should file a license application rather than a request to register this earth station.

  See Deregulation of Domestic Receive-Only Satellite Earth Stations, Second Report and Order, 104

           Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(l) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R.
           $25.1 12(a)(l), and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47
           C.F.R. 50.261, we dismiss both applications as defective without prejudice to refiling.*


                                                                        Sincerely,




                                                                        Scott A. Kotler

               If Full Channel TV, Inc. refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of
           supplying the missing information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. 0 l.l109(d).


                                                                  2
