Petition for Declaratory Ruling to be Added to the Permitted List
06/20/2011 16:23:00:16600Date Filed:
New Skies Satellites B.V.
New Skies Satellites B.V. has filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling, pursuant to Section 25.137 of the Commission's rules, seeking U.S. market
access for its SES-4 space station at the 22° W.L. orbital position.  New Skies states that SES-4 will operate at 22° W.L. pursuant to an
authorization from the administration of the Netherlands and will replace the NSS-7 space station that currently operates at this orbital position.
Specifically, New Skies requests: (1) the inclusion of SES-4 on the Permitted Space Station List for the provision of Fixed-Satellite Service to,
from and within the United States using the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-Space), 11700-12200 MHz
(space-to-Earth), and 14000-14500 MHz (Earth-to-Space) frequency bands; (2) a ruling permitting the use of the 3625-3700 MHz
(space-to-Earth), 5850-5925 MHz, 10950-11200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 11450-11700 MHz (space-to-Earth), and 13750-14000 MHz
(Earth-to-Space) frequency bands for the provision of international FSS and limited tracking, telemetry and command operations; and (3)
authority to provide direct-to-home (DTH) FSS within the United States and between the United States and certain other countries.  New Skies
states that the frequencies requested for market access by SES-4 are the same as those now being operated on NSS-7, except for the 13750-14000
MHz uplink frequency band, which only exists on SES-4.  SES requests waivers of Sections 25.202(a), 25.210(a)(1) and (3), 25.210(i), 25.211(a),
and 25.165 of the Commission's rules in connection with its requests.
