CSN International 10 East Fourth Street Frederick, MD 21701- 0113 Re: Call Sign: E060196 File No.: SES- LIC- 20060526- 00899 Dear Ms. Colby: On May 26, 2006, CSN International (CSN) filed the above- captioned earth station application to operate a Conventional Ku- band 1 earth station using a 3. 8- meter antenna. Pursuant to Section 25.112( a)( 1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C. F. R. § 25.112( a)( 1), we dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to refiling. Specifically, we cannot determine the proposed emission power due to inconsistencies among the proposed maximum EIRP density per carrier listed in the application and the average EIRP density calculated from other parameters. Specifically, for the 230KG7W emission, CSN indicates the maximum EIRP density per carrier is 35.20 dBW/ 4kHz. However, we calculate an average value of +37.6 dBW/ 4kHz as derived from the maximum EIRP per carrier of 55.20 dBW and 230 kilohertz necessary bandwidth, which is a value greater than that indicated as the maximum EIRP density. In light of the above, pursuant to Section 25.112( a)( 1) 2 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C. F. R. § 25.112( a)( 1), and Section 0. 261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C. F. R. § 0.261, we dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to refiling. Sincerely, Scott A. Kotler Chief, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau 1 11. 7- 12.2 and 14. 0- 14. 5 GHz. 2 47 C. F. R. § 25. 112( a)( 1).
