Attachment 3:

12. Description. GUSA Licensee LLC (together with its parent Globalstar, Inc., 'Globalstar') is applying for a further sixty-day extension of its existing special temporary authority ('STA') to test and validate a prototype of Globalstar's new, second-generation earth station antenna at its Clifton, TX gateway location. The Commission granted Globalstar its current sixty-day STA on December 17, 2019 and a further extension on February 24, 2020. Unfortunately, due to continuing software issues and the Covid-19 pandemic, Globalstar has been unable to initiate the testing and validation of this prototype antenna as planned. To ensure that transmissions from this prototype antenna would raise no technical concerns for Globalstar's mobile satellite service ('MSS') network, Globalstar postponed the testing and validation process until these software issues were fully resolved. Globalstar now expects to begin this process during the second half of April 2020 and to conclude this activity during May 2020.

13.

Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. See 47 CFR 1.2002(b) for the meaning of "party to the application" for these purposes.
