SUBPART D - TECHNIAL OPERATIONS Brief Description: This rule requires that all video satellite uplink transmissions, licensed under Part 25 be encoded with a signal to identify the station. The rule specifies that a subcarrier based system will be used to transmit the identification. Need: The need for better radio spectrum management to control interference, allow

  • and Forfeiture, Termination, and Reinstatement of Station Authorizations: Sections 25.150 through 25.163 include well-defined procedures for processing applications to determine whether the applications are mutually exclusive. Sections 25.157 and 25.158 prescribe space station licensing procedures that minimize processing delay and obviate comparative evaluation of mutually exclusive applications. Section 25.159 provides a limit on pending applications and unbuilt satellite systems. Sections 25.160, 25.161, and 25.163 specify the circumstances in which licenses may be automatically cancelled or reinstated and in which pecuniary forfeitures may be assessed. Section 25.165 requires most space-station applicants to post bonds that are subject to forfeiture in the event the license fails to meet implementation milestones. This increases the likelihood that authorized systems will be promptly constructed, launched, and
