 For  more  information  concerning  this  Notice,  contact  the  Satellite  Division  at  202-  418-  0719;  TTY  202-  418-  2555. 
 In  this  modification,  Iridium  seeks  to  substitute  a  single  geostationary  satellite  for  its  authorized  system  of  96  non-  geostationary 
 satellites.  Iridium  proposes  to  operate  the  geostationary  satellite  at  87.5  degrees  W.  L.  in  the  2000-  2020  MHz  and  2180-  2200  MHz 
 frequency  bands.  Iridium  seeks  to  operate  feederlinks  and  tracking,  telemetry  and  control  in  the  Planned  Ku-  band  (10.825-  10.95  GHz 
 for  downlinks  and  12.75-  13.25  GHz  for  uplinks).  Iridium  requests  a  waiver  of  Footnote  NG104  of  Section  2.106  of  the  Commission's 
 rules  limited  operations  in  the  10.7-  11.7  GHz  and  12.75-  13.25  GHz  frequency  bands  by  FSS  networks  to  international  systems.  In 
 addition,  Iridium  seeks  a  waiver  of  Section  25.210(  j)  of  the  Commission's  rules  requiring  FSS  satellite  to  maintain  a  longitudinal 
 stationkeeping  tolerance  of  0.05  degrees.  Iridium  proposes  a  stationkeeping  tolerance  of  0.1  degrees  in  accordance  with  ITU  Radio 
 Regulation  22.8.  Iridium's  services  will  continue  to  be  offered  on  a  non-  common  carrier  basis.
