 Re:  Call  Sign  E950116  File  No.  SES-  LIC-  20050419-  00473 
 Dear  Mr.  Smith: 
 On  April  19,  2005,  you  filed  the  above-  captioned  application  for  authority  to  operate  a  Temporary-  Fixed  Ku-  Band  Transmit/  Receive  Earth  Station.  For  the  reasons  discussed  below,  we 
 dismiss  the  application  as  defective,  without  prejudice  to  refiling.  1 
 A  review  of  the  application  reveals  that  you  did  not  submit  all  required  information  on  FCC  Form  312  –  Schedule  B  (Items  E21  -  E60). 


 Based  on  the  foregoing  reason  we  dismiss  the  application  as  incomplete.  However,  we  take  this  opportunity  to  apprise  you  of  other  concerns  we  have  should  you  choose  to  refile  the  application. 
 We  note  that  in  question  20  of  the  Main  Form,  you  selected  Mobile  Satellite  for  the  Nature  of  Service.  If  your  earth  station  will  be  fixed  while  operating,  then  the  Nature  of  Service  is  Fixed 
 Satellite.  When  you  refile  your  application,  we  suggest  that  the  Nature  of  Service  be  revised,  if  appropriate. 


 Accordingly,  pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  2  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  we  dismiss  your  application  as  defective  without  prejudice. 


 Sincerely, 
 Scott  A.  Kotler  Chief,  Systems  Analysis  Branch 
 Satellite  Division
