Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Requirements for restrictions can bedetermined by predictions based on calculations, modelingor by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fec.gov/octlrfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. The licensee shall ensure installation of by qualified installers who have an understanding of the antenna‘s radiation environment and the measures best suited to maximize protection ofthe general public and persons operatingthe equipment. A terminal exhibiting radiation exposure levels exceeding 1.0 m W/em?2 in accessible areas, such as at the exterior surface of the radome, shall have a label attached to the surface of the terminal warning about the radiation hazard and shall include thereon a diagram showing the regions around the terminal where the radiation levels could exceed 1.0 mW/cm2. 4. CBN must maintain a point of contact available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized, for discussing interferenceconcerns with other licensees and U.S. Government agencies. 5. Antenna elevation for all operations must be at least 5 degrees above the geographic horizon . 6.

12. Description The applicant seeks special temporary authority (‘STA‘) to commence using the Telstar 12 V as a new point of communication. As the Commission is aware, the applicant has a pending modification, filed on FCC Form 312, seeking permanent authority to add Telstar 12 V, and all associated aspects of that operation, to the E970050 authorization. See FCC File No. SES—MOD~—20151201—00882. The ALLSAT satellite Telstar 12, predecessor to Telstar 12 V, is slated to be decommissioned on Sunday, January 31, 2016. In December 2015, and at the time the applicant submitted its original E970050 modification application, the Telstar 12 decommissioning was slated for the first few weeks of February. However, the Telstar 12 operator very recently accelerated the decommissioning timeline to cease operations on Sunday, January 31, 2016. As such, the applicant has no other option but seek an STA in order to continue service to its viewing community. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests an STA to commence temporary operations to include communications with Telstar 12 V as soon as possible.
