 Dear  Mr.  Fagan: 
 On  January  30,  2006,  and  April  5,  2006,  Telenor  Satellite,  Inc.  (Telenor)  filed  the  above-captioned  applications  to  modify  two  earth  station  licenses  to  add  the  INMARSAT-  3F4  satellite 
 now  located  at  142  o  W.  L.  as  a  point  communication.  On  May  3,  2006,  Telenor  filed  the  above-captioned  request  for  Special  Temporary  Authority  to  operate  one  of  these  earth  stations. 
 Pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  of  the  Commission  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  25.112(  a)(  1),  we  dismiss  these  applications  as  defective  without  prejudice  to  refiling. 


 Section  25.203(  c)  of  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  25.203(  c),  requires  applicants  seeking  to  operate  in  bands  shared  co-  equally  with  the  terrestrial  service  such  as  certain  C-  Band  frequencies, 
 on  which  the  Telenor  earth  stations  operate,  must  submit  a  Frequency  Coordination  report  in  their  applications.  This  report  describes  and  analyzes  the  potential  interference  caused  or  potentially 
 received  by  the  proposed  operations.  Telenor  has  not  submitted  a  report  for  repointing  the  antenna  towards  the  INMARSAT-  3F4  satellite  at  142  o  W.  L.  Accordingly,  all  three  applications 
 are  incomplete. 
 In  addition,  Telenor  seeks  special  temporary  authority  to  communicate  with  INMARSAT-  3F4  using  the  3630.  42  and  6455.  42  MHz  center  frequencies.  The  current  license  for  the  earth  station  1 
 authorizes  operations  in  the  3629.4-  3631.6  and  6454.4-  6456.6  MHz  bands  with  2.2  megahertz  necessary  bandwidths  (2M20G1D  emission  designator).  Use  of  these  center  frequencies  are 
 inconsistent  with  its  license  since  80  kHz  of  the  lower  portion  of  the  emission  will  fall  outside  its  authorization. 


 Furthermore,  we  note  that  although  Telenor,  in  these  applications,  seeks  a  waiver  for  filing  a  Schedule  S,  the  Commission’s  deliberations  in  any  refiling  would  be  aided  considerably  if  the

 record  were  to  include  complete  Schedule  S  technical  information  for  INMARSAT-  3F4,  including  specific  frequencies  and  emissions.  Finally,  also  any  refiling  must  also  include  the 
 information  required  by  Schedule  B  regarding  Range  of  Satellite  Arc  (E54/  E55),  Earth  Station  Azimuth  Angle  (E56  and  E58),  and  Antenna  Elevation  Angle  (E57  and  E59)  since  the  responses 
 to  these  questions  are  dependent  on  the  satellites  with  which  the  earth  station  seeks  to  communicate. 


 Accordingly,  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  all  three  applications  as  defective  without  prejudice  to  refiling. 


 Sincerely,
