 File No. SES-LIC-20080424-00486
Dear Mr. Gutman:
On April 24, 2008, Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon Television) filed the above-
captioned application seeking authority to operate a temporary-fixed Ku-band1 earth station.  For 
the reason discussed below, we dismiss the application 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, 
contains internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission’s rules.  
Nippon Television’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 as an exhibit all 
applications seeking major modifications such as the one proposed.2 However, Nippon 
Television’s application did not include this required exhibit.
While we dismiss the application on the above basis, we also request the following information in 
any refiling.  In response to Question E15 of Schedule B, Nippon Television answered that its 
0.66 meter antenna complies with the antenna gain patterns specified in Section 25.209(a) and (b) 
of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.209(a) and (b).  Pursuant to Section 25.132(a)(1) of the 
Commission’s rules, we request Nippon Television to demonstrate these measurements by 
submitting the antenna gain patterns for the 0.66 meter antenna. 
  
1 In response to item E43/E44 of Schedule B, Nippon Television lists 14.0-14.5 MHz as the frequencies 
it seeks to operate.  Based on other information filed in the application, we assume that it seeks to operate 
in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band.
2  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307(b).
Federal Communications Commission                  DA 08-1155

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 Nippon Television’s application, without prejudice to refiling.3
Sincerely,
Scott A. Kotler
Chief, Systems Analysis Branch

3 If Nippon Television refiles an application in which the deficiency identified in this letter has been 
corrected but is otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. 
§ 1.1109(d).
