C. 20554 ) In the Matter of ) ) Amendment of the Commission's Space ) IB Docket No. 02- 34 Station Licensing Rules and Policies ) ) ERRATUM Released: June 26, 2003 1. On May 19, 2003, the Commission released a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in IB Docket No. 02- 34, revising the Commission's satellite licensing procedures. 1 The fifth sentence of paragraph 113 is corrected to read as follows: For these purposes, we will consider an orbit location to become "available" at the time we release an Order revoking a license in cases where we revoke the license, or upon release of a public notice announcing that a licensee has surrendered its license in cases where the licensee surrenders its license. 260 2. Paragraph 131 of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is corrected to read as follows: 131. Accordingly, our procedures for applications for feeder link or intersatellite link authority will not necessarily be consistent with our procedures for the associated service link application. In cases where the proposed feeder link or intersatellite link is a GSO- like service, the first- come first- served procedure set forth in this section of the Order will apply to the GSO- like link. Examples of these applications are requests for an intersatellite link between two GSO satellites, and requests for a feeder link between a fixed earth station and a GSO satellite applying to provide MSS services. In all other cases, where the proposed feeder link or intersatellite link is an NGSO- like service, the modified processing round procedure will apply to that particular link. 297 We also note 1 Amendment of the Commission's Space Station Licensing Rules and Policies, First Report and Order, IB Docket No. 02- 34, FCC No. 03- 102 (released May 19, 2003) (First Space Station Reform Order). 260 In the event that a licensee files a petition for reconsideration or application for review of a decision to revoke a license, we would grant the new license subject to the outcome of the reconsideration or review proceeding. 297 We discuss milestones for satellite systems using feeder links or intersatellite links in Section VII. C. 7. below. 1 Federal Communications Commission DA 03- 2087 2 that licensees will be allowed 30 days to decide whether to accept any license grant. 3. In Appendix B of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Section 25.114( b) is corrected to read as follows: (b) Each application for a new or modified space station authorization must constitute a concrete proposal for Commission evaluation. Each application must also contain the formal waiver required by Section 304 of the Communications Act, 47 U. S. C. 304. The technical information for a proposed satellite system need not be filed on any prescribed form but should be complete in all pertinent details. Applications for new space station authorizations other than authorizations for the Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) and Digital Audio Radio Satellite (DARS) service must be filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). 4. In Appendix B of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Sections 25.140( e), (f), and (g) are removed and reserved. 5. In Appendix B of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Section 25.149 is renumbered Section 25.165. The language of this rule is not changed. Also, references to Section 25.149 in paragraphs 350, 351, and 352 of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and in Section 25.137( d)( 4) in Appendix B, are replaced with references to Section 25.165. 6. In Appendix B of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Section 25.156( d)( 4) is corrected to read as follows: (4) Applications for feeder link authority or intersatellite link authority will be treated like an application separate from its associated service band. Each feeder link request or intersatellite link request will be considered pursuant to the procedure for GSO- like service or NGSO- like service, as applicable.
