  • convenience, and necessity." Because NetSat 28 has shown that a waiver of the construction commencement milestone is warranted, and there is no other basis in the record for revoking NetSat 28's license, we conclude that reinstating NetSat 28's Ka-band license would "best serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity" within the meaning of Section 25.163(a). The Commission has interpreted Section 25.161(a) as precluding consideration of a milestone waiver request filed after the milestone has passed. We find that, for the same reasons that there is good cause for reinstating NetSat 28's license and waiving its construction commencement milestone, there is good cause for waiving Section 25.161(a) for purposes of considering NetSat 28's waiver request filed after its construction commencement milestone had

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 operated.

SES Americom stated that it had no other available satellite capable of providing Ka-band service at the 85° W.L. orbital location while AMC-16 was temporarily relocated.

The rule provision mentioned in the second sentence in Paragraph 23 should have been identified as Section 25.161(a), rather than Section 25.216(a). The second sentence of Paragraph 23 is therefore revised to read as follows: The Bureau held in that case that waivers of Section 25.161(a) and of a construction-commencement requirement were equitably justified because the licensee had been materially hindered from meeting the requirement by an erroneously-imposed license condition.

  • Therefore, according to PCG, PanAmSat's application for review should be denied as a late-filed application for review of the 1997 PanAmSat Authorization Order, in which the May 1998 construction commencement requirement was placed in PanAmSat's license. PanAmSat maintains that it filed a request for extension of its construction commencement milestone before that milestone expired. PanAmSat also notes that, under Section 25.161(a) of the Commission's rules, an authorization is terminated automatically when a milestone passes and the licensee fails to certify that it has met that milestone, unless the licensee has requested an extension of the milestone and the Commission has not acted on that request. PanAmSat asserts therefore that its licensed was not cancelled until the Bureau took action in June
