File No. SES-MOD-20090429-00535
Dear Mr. Wazeter:
On April 29, 2009, Telesat Network Services, Inc. (“Telesat”) filed the above-captioned 
modification application to remove a condition on an earth station license held by Telesat. For reasons 
discussed below, we dismiss this 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, contains internal 
inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission’s rules. In response to question 36 of 
its modification application, Telesat answered “Yes” to the question: “Has the applicant or any party to this 
application or amendment had any FCC station authorization or license revoked or had any application for an 
initial modification or renewal of FCC station authorization, license or construction permit denied by the 
Commission.  If Yes, please attach as an exhibit an explanation of circumstances”.  Sections 1.10007 and 
25.130 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.10007 and 25.130, directs earth station applicants to file 
all required exhibits as an attachment to their electronic applications prior to filing. Telesat did not attach an 
exhibit explaining the circumstances surrounding the unfavorable action by the Commission.
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, as 
incomplete, the modification application of Telesat without prejudice to refiling. 
Sincerely,
Kathyrn Medley
