§ 25.262 Licensing and domestic coordination requirements for 17/24 GHz BSS
space stations.
(a) Except as described in paragraphs (b), (c) or (e) of this section,
applicants seeking to operate a space station in the 17/24 GHz BSS must
locate that space station at one of the orbital positions described in
Appendix F of the Report and Order adopted May 2, 2007, IB Docket No.
06-123, FCC 07-76.
(b) An applicant may be authorized to operate a 17/24 GHz BSS space
station at an orbital location described in Appendix F as set forth in
paragraph (a) of this section, or at a location with a geocentric
angular separation of one degree or less from an Appendix F location,
and may operate at the maximum power flux density limits defined in
§ 25.208(c) and (w) of this part, without coordinating its power flux
density levels with adjacent licensed or permitted operators, only if
there is no licensed 17/24 GHz BSS space station or prior-filed
application at a location less than four degrees from the offset
orbital location at which the applicant proposes to operate.
(c)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, licensees and
permittees will be allowed to apply for a license or authorization for
a replacement satellite that will be operated at the same power level
and interference protection as the satellite to be replaced.
(2) In addition, applicants for licenses or authority for a satellite
to be operated at an orbit location that was made available after a
previous 17/24 GHz BSS license was cancelled or surrendered will be
permitted to apply for authority to operate a satellite at the same
power level and interference protection as the previous licensee at
that orbit location, to the extent that their proposed operations are
consistent with the provisions of this part. Such applications will be
considered pursuant to the first-come, first-served procedures set
forth in § 25.158 of this part.
(d) Any U.S. licensee or permittee using a 17/24 GHz BSS space station
that is located less than four degrees away from a prior-authorized
17/24 GHz BSS space station that is authorized to operate in accordance
with paragraph (b) of this section:
(1) may not cause any more interference to the adjacent satellite
network than would be caused if the adjacent 17/24 GHz BSS space
station were located four degrees away from the proposed space station;
and
(2) must accept any increased interference that results from the
adjacent space station network operating at the offset orbital location
less than four degrees away.
(e) Any 17/24 GHz BSS U.S. licensee or permittee that is required to
provide information in its application pursuant to § 25.140(b)(4)(ii)
or (b)(4)(iii) of this part must accept any increased interference that
may result from adjacent 17/24 GHz BSS space stations that are
operating in compliance with the rules for this service.
(f) Any 17/24 GHz BSS U.S. licensee or permittee that does not comply
with the power flux-density limits set forth in § 25.208(w) of this
part shall bear the burden of coordinating with any future co-frequency
licensees and permittees of a 17/24 GHz BSS network under the following
circumstances:
(1) If the operator's space-to-Earth power flux-density levels exceed
the power flux-density limits set forth in § 25.208(w) of this part by
3 dB or less, the operator shall bear the burden of coordinating with
any future operators proposing a 17/24 GHz BSS space station in
compliance with power flux-density limits set forth in § 25.208(w) of
this part and located within +-6 degrees of the operator's 17/24 GHz
BSS space station.
(2) If the operator's space-to-Earth power flux-density levels exceed
the power flux-density limits set forth in § 25.208(w) of this part by
more than 3 dB, the operator shall bear the burden of coordinating with
any future operators proposing a 17/24 GHz BSS space station in
compliance with power flux-density limits set forth in § 25.208(w) of
this part and located within +-10 degrees of the operator's 17/24 GHz
BSS space station.
(3) If no good faith agreement can be reached, the operator of the
17/24 GHz BSS satellite network that does not comply with § 25.208(w)
of this part shall reduce its space-to-Earth power flux-density levels
to be compliant with those specified in § 25.208(w) of this part.
