On May 16, 2008, Globalstar Licensee LLC (Globalstar) filed an application requesting modification of 
its authorization for operation of Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) facilities in the 1.6/2.4 GHz 
Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS) spectrum bands.1
This application is subject, unless otherwise provided, to treatment by the Commission as a restricted 
proceeding for ex parte purposes under Section 1.1208 of the Commission’s rules.  47 C.F.R. § 1.1208.  
We have concluded, however, that classifying this proceeding as permit-but-disclose would, in this case, 
serve the public interest.  Accordingly, by this Public Notice, and pursuant to Section 1.1200(a) of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a), we announce that the ex parte procedures applicable to 
nonrestricted proceedings will govern our consideration of the instant application.  See 47 C.F.R. § 
1.1206.
Permit-but-disclose ex parte procedures permit interested parties to make ex parte presentations to the 
Commissioners and Commission employees and require that these presentations be disclosed in the 
record of the relevant proceeding.  Persons making a written ex parte presentation to the Commissioners 
or Commission employees must file the written presentation with the Office of the Secretary no later than 
the next business day after the presentation.  47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(1).  Persons making oral ex parte
presentations must file a summary of the presentation no later than the next business day after the 
presentation.  47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2).  All ex parte filings must be clearly labeled as such and must 
reference this Public Notice, DA 08-1217.
An original and one copy of all ex parte memoranda must be filed by hand or messenger delivery, by 
commercial overnight courier, or by first-class or overnight U.S. Postal Service mail (although we
continue to experience delays in receiving U.S. Postal Service mail).  The Commission's contractor,

Secretary at 236 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E., Suite 110, Washington, D.C. 20002.  The filing hours at
