Re:  Call Sign E890649
File No. SES-MOD-20061226-02235
SES-AMD-20070115-00095
Dear Mr. Fagan:
On December 26, 2006, Telenor Satellite, Inc. (Telenor) filed the above-captioned 
application to modify earth station call sign E890649.  The application was amended on January 
15, 2007.  The amended application seeks authority to operate Earth Stations on Vessels (ESVs)
in the extended and conventional Ku-bands.1 The application also seeks authority to add
antennas and emission designators to the earth station.  For the reasons stated below, we dismiss 
the application, as amended, as defective without prejudice to refiling.
Section 25.112 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires the Commission 
to return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially 
complete, that contains internal inconsistencies, or that does not substantially comply with the 
Commission's rules.  Telenor's application contains several omissions and discrepancies that 
render it unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  These deficiencies are as follows: 
Pursuant to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, use of the 12.2-
12.7 GHz band is limited to the Broadcast Satellite Service.  Telenor proposed to operate in this 
band, although it does not propose to provide Broadcast Satellite Service.  Further, Telenor
indicated that its earth station would receive in the 12.7-12.75 GHz band.  This band, however, is 
not allocated for downlink transmissions.  Furthermore, the proposed 11.20-11.45 GHz and 
12.20-12.75 GHz bands are not allocated for the proposed ESV service. Telenor did not request a 
waiver of the Table of Frequency Allocations to permit its proposed non-conforming uses.
In addition, Telenor did not submit a Radiation Hazard Analysis for its new antenna as 
required response to Question 28 of Form 312.
While we dismiss the application on the above bases, we take this opportunity to apprise 
Telenor of an additional issue with its application that it should address if it chooses to refile it.
In its technical showing, Telenor did not identify the graphic data submission by model number 
(e.g. Sel Tel 4003A, 4006, and 4996T) of its proposed antennas.  Thus, we are unable to verify 
  
1 10.95-11.70, 11.70-12.20, 12.20-12.75, and 14.0-14.5 GHz bands.

that the antennas in the showing are the antennas it proposes to use.  Therefore, please reference 
the antenna model number in any refiled application.
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 the application, as amended, without prejudice to refiling.2
Sincerely,

corrected information, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
