6. Operations under this authority are on a non—protected basis only.

7. The total power at the antenna flange for all carriers must not exceed 40 Watts.

8. The power flux—density at the Earth‘s surface produced by emissions from 03b‘s NGSO
FSS system for all methods of modulation shall not exceed the levels established in 4 7
C.F.R. § 25.308(c), (e) and Article 21 of the ITU Radio Regulations.

9. The operations of the 03b NGSO FSS satellite system must not exceed the EPFD limits
