(Christian Television) filed the above- captioned application for a new fixed earth station. Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), we dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to re-filing.1 Section 25.112(a) of the Commission’s rules 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.2 For the reasons set forth below, we find the application of Christian Television unacceptable for filing. · Applicants for new transmitting facilities are required to include a radiation hazard study with their applications.3 Christian Television did not submit the required radiation hazard study. · In items E43/44 of Schedule B to FCC Form 312, Christian Television lists the 6425- 9525 MHz frequency band as desired frequencies of operation. Fixed-Satellite Service is not authorized throughout that frequency band, and the requested space station point of communication, AMC-1, is only authorized to operate in the 5925- 6425 MHz frequency band. · In item 47 of Schedule B to FCC Form 312, Christian Television lists an emission designator as “3m7oglf.” That emission designator does not comply with the format prescribed by Section 2.201 of the Commission’s rules.4 1 If Christian Television re-files an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the corrected information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1111(d). 2 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a). 3 See Item 28 of Schedule B to FCC Form 312 and 47 C.F.R §§ 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. 4 47 C.F.R. § 2.201. Federal Communications Commission DA 13-1462 2 We also note that Christian Television did not submit a current frequency coordination report. If Christian Television re-files an application it must file a coordination report that is less than six months old.5 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 the application, without prejudice to re-filing.
