 Dear  Mr.  Fagan: 
 On  May  24,  2006,  Telenor  Satellite,  Inc.  (Telenor)  filed  the  above-  captioned  application  to  modify  its  conventional  Ku-  band  1  earth  station  license  which  operates  in  Southbury, 
 Connecticut  to  add  a  6.1  meter  antenna.  Telenor  states  that  it  plans  to  use  this  antenna  to  communicate  with  ALSAT-  designated  satellites.  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. 


 In  response  to  question  E48  of  Schedule  B,  Telenor  lists  the  maximum  EIRP  for  emission  42M0G7W  as  86.01  dBW  and  for  emission  72M0G7W  as  88.25  dBW.  These  values  exceed  the 
 83.1  dBW  level  Telenor  lists  as  the  Total  EIRP  for  all  carriers  in  response  to  question  E40.  Therefore,  the  application  is  inconsistent. 


 Telenor  lists  ALSAT  as  the  point  of  communication  for  this  earth  station.  ALSAT  may  only  be  listed  as  a  point  of  communication  for  routinely  authorized  earth  stations.  2  In  response  to 
 question  E49  on  Schedule  B,  Telenor  lists  the  Maximum  EIRP  density  per  carrier  as  45.8  dBW/  4kHz  for  the  following  digital  emissions:  100KG7W,  32K0G7W,  43K8G7W,  45K0G7W, 
 76K8G7W,  9K00G7W,  20M0G7W,  2M29G7W,  36M0G7W,  42M0G7W,  72M0G7W,  1M60G1F,  200KG1F,  400KG1F,  and  800KG1F.  This  corresponds  to  a  power  density  at  the 
 input  of  the  antenna  flange  of  -11.30  dBW/  4kHz.  This  value  exceeds  the  maximum  input  power  spectral  density  limit  of  -14  dBW/  4kHz  for  routinely  authorized  earth  stations  in  Section 
 25.212(  c)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  25.  212(  c).  Therefore,  Telenor  may  not  designate  ALSAT  as  a  point  of  communication  for  the  proposed  emissions  and  must  identify  the 
 specific  satellites  with  which  the  earth  station  will  communicate.  Furthermore,  in  accordance  with  Section  25.220(  e)(  1),  Telenor  is  required  to  include  with  the  application  a  certification  from 
 each  target  satellite  operator  that  it  has  reached  agreements  with  adjacent  satellite  operators  regarding  the  non-  routine  operations.  The  application  does  not  include  this  certification.

 2  Amendment  of  the  Commission’s  Regulatory  Policies  to  Allow  Non-  U.  S.-  Licensed  Space  Stations  to 
 Provide  Domestic  and  International  Services  in  the  United  States,  First  Order  on  Reconsideration,  IB  Docket  No.  96-  111,  15  FCC  Rcd  7207,  7210  n.  19.

 In  light  of  the  above,  pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  3  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.
