maximum power limits indicated in existing or future coordination agreements at 109.9° W.L. Non—
conforming operations must also be coordinated with respectto those operations of non—U.5.—licensed
space stations within 6 degrees of 109.9° W.L. involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed
earth stations.
