File No.:    SES-MFS-20120612-00506
Dear Ms. Minea:
On June 12, 2012, EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) filed the above-captioned 
application to modify its fixed earth station add the DBSD G-1 (S2651) space station 
operating at the 92.85° orbital location as a point of Communication.  EBC’s narrative 
statement indicates this modification is required to allow EBC to provide telemetry, 
tracking, and control for the DBSD G-1 space station using C-band frequencies for 
limited emergency or contingency operations, should the need arise, and for periodic 
reliability testing.  We dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to re-filing.1
Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), requires the 
Commission to return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not 
substantially complete, that contains internal inconsistencies, or that does not 
substantially comply with the Commission’s rules. EBC application is not complete for 
the reasons stated below.
· In response to item E18 of Schedule B, EBC indicates that a frequency 
coordination report is not required for its proposed modification to its C-band 
operations.  However, Section 25.203(c) of the Commission’s rules requires all 
earth station applicants to complete frequency coordination if the earth station 
will operate in frequency bands shared with terrestrial services on a co-primary 
basis such as in the 3700-4200MHz and 5925-6425 MHz bands proposed in the 
application.  If EBC chooses to refile, it must include a frequency coordination 
report with its application.
  
1  If EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation 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).

· EBC did not complete items E28 through E60 of Schedule B to the FCC Form 
312 relating to the particulars of the proposed operations as required by section 
25.130 (a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.130(a)(1). 
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(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules on delegations of 
authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261(a)(4), we dismiss the application of EchoStar Broadcasting 
Corporation without prejudice to re-filing.
