 Dear  Mr.  Maaia: 
 On  June  15,  2006,  Full  Channel  TV,  Inc.  (Full  Channel)  filed  the  above-  captioned  application  to  register  a  C-  Band  and  Ku-  Band  receive-  only  earth  station.  In  addition,  Full  Channel  filed  a 
 request  for  Special  Temporary  Authority  to  operate  this  earth  station.  Pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §25.  112(  a)(  1),  we  dismiss  both  applications  as 
 defective  without  prejudice  to  refiling. 
 All  applicants  seeking  licenses  or  registrations  for  Receive-  Only  must  include  all  items  of  information  required  by  FCC  Form  312  and  its  associated  Schedule  B.  Full  Channel’s 
 application,  however,  does  not  include  several  fields  of  required  information,  including  frequency  band  and  emission  designators  (See  questions  E43-  E59).  In  response  to  question  E18  of 
 Schedule  B,  Full  Channel  indicates  that  frequency  coordination  is  not  required.  Earth  station  applicants,  however,  must  complete  frequency  coordination  if  they  intend  to  operate  in  frequency 
 bands  with  terrestrial  services  on  a  co-  primary  basis.  These  co-  primary  bands  include  the  C-  band  and  certain  portions  of  the  Ku-  band,  including  the  bands  that  Full  Channel  seeks  to  operate. 


 Further,  the  Commission  does  not  license  or  register  receive-  only  FSS  stations  operating  with  ALSAT-  designated  satellites  in  the  11.7-  12.2  GHz  portion  of  the  Ku-  band.  See  Deregulation  of 
 Domestic  Receive-  Only  Satellite  Earth  Stations,  Second  Report  and  Order,  CC  Docket  No.  78-  374,  (adopted  March  25,  1986).  1  Because  FSS  is  the  only  primary  allocation  in  this  band, 
 operations  to  FSS  receive-  only  Ku-  band  earth  stations  are  protected  against  interference  from  the  operations  of  any  other  communications  service.  As  such,  licensing  or  registering  these  earth 
 stations  is  unnecessary. 
 If  the  proposed  earth  station  will  be  operating  in  bands  other  than  the  3700-  4200  MHz  band,  Full  Channel  should  file  a  license  application  rather  than  a  request  to  register  this  earth  station. 


 1  See  Deregulation  of  Domestic  Receive-  Only  Satellite  Earth  Stations,  Second  Report  and  Order,  104 
 FCC  2d  348  (1986),  at  para.  12.

 Accordingly,  pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  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  both  applications  as  defective  without  prejudice  to  refiling.  2 


 Sincerely, 


 Scott  A.  Kotler  Chief,  Systems  Analysis  Branch

 2  If  Full  Channel  TV,  Inc.  refiles  an  application  identical  to  the  one  dismissed,  with  the  exception  of 
 supplying  the  missing  information,  it  need  not  pay  an  application  fee.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §1.  1109(  d).
