ERRATUM
Released:  April 21, 2008
By the Chief, Policy Division, International Bureau:
On April 10, 2008, the Commission released a Report and Order and Order Proposing 
Modification (Globalstar ATC Report and Order), FCC 08-98, in the above-captioned proceeding.  This 
Erratum corrects the Globalstar ATC Report and Order as follows:
1. Footnotes 111-113 are corrected to read as follows:
111 See 47 C.F.R. § 27.53 (as revised by Amendment of Parts 1, 21, 73, 74 and 101 of the 
Commission’s Rules to Facilitate the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, 
Educational and Other Advanced Services in the 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 MHz Bands; Part 1 of 
the Commission's Rules - Further Competitive Bidding Procedures; Amendment of Parts 21 and 74 
of the Commission's Rules With Regard to Licensing in the Multipoint Distribution Service and in the 
Instructional Television Fixed Service for the Gulf of Mexico; Review of the Spectrum Sharing Plan 
Among Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit Mobile Satellite Service Systems in the 1.6/2.4 GHz 
Bands; Amendment of Part 2 of the Commission’s Rules to Allocate Spectrum Below 3 GHz for 
Mobile and Fixed Services to Support the Introduction of New Advanced Wireless Services, 
Including Third Generation Wireless Systems, Third Order on Reconsideration and Sixth 
Memorandum Opinion and Order and Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order and Second 
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Declaratory Ruling, WT Docket No. 03-66, RM-
10586, WT Docket No. 03-67, WT Docket No. 02-68, RM-9718, IB Docket No. 02-364, ET 
Docket No. 00-258, FCC 08-83, released Mar. 20, 2008 (BRS/EBS 4th MO&O)).
112 See 47 C.F.R. §§ 27.53(m)(2) (as revised by the BRS/EBS 4th MO&O), 27.53(m)(6).  See also 
Sprint Nextel Comments at 10-11.
113 See 47 C.F.R. § 27.53(m)(2) (as revised by the BRS/EBS 4th MO&O).
2. In paragraph 33, a fifth sentence is added to read as follows:
When the interference is caused by a new or modified BRS/EBS base station to a pre-
existing base station, when the interference complaint cannot be mutually resolved, the 
new or modified station must take these measures within 24 hours of receipt of the 
documented interference complaint, and the pre-existing base station must take these 
measures within 60 days of making the complaint.114

3. A new footnote 114 is added to the sentence above and the rest of the footnotes are 
renumbered accordingly.  Footnote 114 is added to read as: 
114 See 47 C.F.R. § 27.53(m)(2)(ii) (as revised by the BRS/EBS 4th MO&O).
4. In paragraph 36, a third sentence is added to read as follows:
When the interference is caused by a new or modified ATC station to a pre-existing BRS 
Channel 1 base station, when the interference complaint cannot be mutually resolved, the 
new or modified station must take these measures within 24 hours of receipt of the 
documented interference complaint, and the pre-existing base station must take these 
measures within 60 days of making the complaint.
5. In Appendix A, revise the text for rule section 25.254(a) by adding paragraph (5) to read 
as follows:
§ 25.254  Special requirements for ancillary terrestrial components operating in the 1610-1626.5 
MHz/2483.5-2500 MHz bands.
(a) * * *
(5)  For base stations, the power for any emissions above 2495 MHz shall be attenuated 
below the transmitter power (P) measured in watts in accordance with the standards 
below.
(i)  For base stations, the attenuation shall be not less than 43 + 10 log (P) dB at the upper 
edge of the authorized ATC band, unless a documented interference complaint is 
received from an adjacent channel licensee in the Broadband Radio Service (BRS).  
Provided that a documented interference complaint cannot be mutually resolved between 
the parties, the following additional attenuation requirements shall apply:
(ii)  If a pre-existing BRS base station suffers harmful interference from emissions caused 
by a new or modified ATC base station located 1.5 km or more away, within 24 hours of 
the receipt of a documented interference complaint the ATC licensee must attenuate its 
emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) dB measured at 3 megahertz above the edge of the 
authorized ATC band, and shall immediately notify the complaining licensee upon 
implementation of the additional attenuation.  No later than 60 days after the 
implementation of such additional attenuation, the complaining licensee shall attenuate 
its base station emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) dB measured at 3 megahertz below 
the lower edge of its frequency block.
(iii)  If a pre-existing BRS base station suffers harmful interference from emissions 
caused by a new or modified ATC base station located less than 1.5 km away, within 24 
hours of the receipt of a documented interference complaint the ATC licensee must 
attenuate its emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) – 20 log(Dkm/1.5) dB measured at 3 
megahertz above the edge of the authorized ATC band, or if both base stations are co-
located, limit its undesired signal level at the pre-existing BRS base station receiver(s) to 
no more than -107 dBm measured in a 5.5 megahertz bandwidth and shall immediately 
notify the complaining licensee upon such reduction in the undesired signal level.  No 
later than 60 days after the implementation of such additional attenuation, the 
complaining licensee shall attenuate its base station emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) 
dB measured at 3 megahertz below the lower edge of its frequency block.

(iv)  If a new or modified BRS base station suffers harmful interference from emissions 
caused by pre-existing ATC base station located 1.5 km or more away, within 60 days of 
receipt of a documented interference complaint the licensee of the ATC base station must 
attenuate its base station emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) dB measured at 3 
megahertz above the edge of the authorized ATC band.
(v)  If a new or modified BRS base station suffers harmful interference from emissions 
caused by pre-existing ATC base station located less than 1.5 km away, within 60 days of 
receipt of a documented interference complaint:  (a) the ATC licensee must attenuate its 
base station emissions by at least 67 + 10 log (P) – 20 log(Dkm/1.5) dB measured 3 
megahertz above the edge of the authorized ATC band,  or (b) if both base stations are 
co-located, the ATC licensee must limit its undesired signal level at the new or modified 
BRS base station receiver(s) to no more than -107 dBm measured in a 5.5 megahertz 
bandwidth.
