 Re: File No. SES-LIC-20070511-00688
Dear Mr. Holterhaus:
On May 11, 2007, Sky Television, LLC (Sky Television) filed the above-captioned application 
for authority to operate a Temporary-Fixed Ku-Band Transmit/Receive Earth Station. For 
reasons discussed below, we dismiss the application as defective, without prejudice to refiling.1
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.  Sky Television’s application does not comply with the Commission's rules, which renders 
it unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  The deficiencies are as follows:
Pursuant to Section 25.130(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.130(a), applications for 
transmitting earth stations must be filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing 
system using Form 312, including Schedule B.  Sky Television did not submit its application 
electronically.
In addition, Question 28 of Form 312 indicates that a radiation hazard study must accompany all 
applications as an exhibit for new transmitting facilities such as the one proposed.2 However, 
Sky Television’s application did not include this required exhibit.  
  
1 If Sky Television refiles an application in which the deficiencies identified in this letter have been 
corrected but otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R.§
1.1109(d).
2  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307(b).
 Federal Communications Commission                  DA 07-2200

Consequently, we dismiss Sky Television’s application without prejudice to refiling.  In preparing 
any application to be refiled, Sky Television may wish to refer to the International Bureau Filing 
System (IBFS) website at www.fcc.gov/ibfs. If you need any technical assistance with IBFS, 
please contact the IBFS help desk at 202-418-2222.
