 Telesat  Canada  has  filed  a  Petition  for  Declaratory  Ruling  requesting  the  Commission  to  add  its  Anik  E2R  satellite  to  the  "Permitted 
 Space  Station"  list  created  by  the  Commission  in  the  DISCO  II  First  Reconsideration  Order.  [See  Amendment  of  the  Commission's 
 Regulatory  Policies  to  Allow  Non-  U.  S.  Licensed  Space  Stations  to  Provide  Domestic  and  International  Satellite  Service  in  the  United 
 States,  Order,  IB  Docket  No.  96-  111,  FCC  99-  325  (released  Oct.  29,  1999)  (DISCO  II  First  Reconsideration  Order).] 


 ·  Anik  E2R  at  111.1°  W.  L. 
 The  Anik  E2  operates  at  that  location  and  is  nearing  the  end  of  its  useful  life.  Telesat  indicates  that  adding  the  Anik  E2R  satellite  to 
 the  Permitted  List  will  enable  Telesat  to  continue  to  serve  its  U.  S.  customers  pending  launch  of  Anik  F2,  a  replacement  satellite  which 
 the  Commission  placed  on  the  Permitted  List  in  December  2002.
