Construction Authorization In 1996, the Commission eliminated the requirement that space station operators and earth station operators obtain authorization prior to beginning construction of their stations. The rule revisions adopted in 1996 to implement this decision are potentially confusing. Section 25.113(a) states that construction authorization is required in all cases except those listed in Section 25.113(b). Then, Section 25.113(b) lists all possible cases, thereby mooting Section 25.113(a). We propose simplifying Section 25.113 to state explicitly that prior authorization for construction is not required. We do not anticipate that this revision will have any substantive change, but rather will merely clarify current

In so concluding, OMD relied on the then applicable space station cut-off rule, 47 C.F.R. § 25.113(g), under which an application to launch an on-ground spare satellite is considered newly filed unless ``determined to be an emergency replacement ... that has been lost as a result of a launch failure or catastrophic in-orbit failure.'' OMD also distinguished earlier fee decisions granting partial relief of fees associated with applications to replace satellites destroyed during launch, including one involving

  • four prongs of the test. III. DISCUSSION EUTELSAT maintains that it satisfies the first prong of the Virginia Jobbers test, i.e., that it is likely to prevail on the merits, for two reasons. First, EUTELSAT claims that the Special Temporary Authority is based on inaccurate assumptions. Second, EUTELSAT asserts that the Special Temporary Authority exceeds the Commission's authority under Section 25.113(g) of its rules. For the reasons discussed below, we find neither argument persuasive. 1. Factual Basis for Special Temporary Authority According to EUTELSAT, Loral incorrectly claimed that EUTELSAT had consented to Loral's planned tests at 15º W.L. EUTELSAT contends it had agreed only to a set of technical parameters to govern tests in the event that other agreements being negotiated
