   File No. SES-LIC-20071016-01423
Dear Mr. Prak:
On October 16, 2007, Hearst-Argyle Stations, Inc. filed the above-captioned application for authority to 
operate a Temporary-Fixed Ku-Band1 Transmit-Only Earth Station. For the reason discussed below, we 
dismiss the application as defective, without prejudice to refiling.2
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, contains internal 
inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission's rules.  Hearst-Argyle Stations, 
Inc.’s application is incomplete, which renders it unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  The deficiency is 
as follows:
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.3 However, Hearst-Argyle Stations, Inc.’s 
application did not include this required exhibit.  
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 
Hearst-Argyle Stations, Inc’s application as incomplete without prejudice to refiling.  
 Sincerely,
Scott A. Kotler

2 If  Hearst-Argyle Stations, Inc. refiles an application in which the deficiency identified in this letter has been corrected but 
otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R.§ 1.1109(d).
