- mission disposal. The Land Remote Sensing Policy Act requires that a NOAA remote sensing licensee ``upon termination of operations under the license, make disposition of any satellite in space in a manner satisfactory to the President.'' Therefore, if DigitalGlobe refiles its application, in order to avoid duplicative U.S. regulatory requirements, we advise DigitalGlobe to seek a waiver of the Section 25.217(d) orbital debris mitigation disclosure requirement. Finally, we clarify the status of DigitalGlobe's current NGSO EESS authorization. The Bureau originally authorized DigitalGlobe's predecessor, EarthWatch Incorporated (EarthWatch) to construct, launch, and operate an NGSO EESS system in 1995. The system consisted of two NGSO satellites operating in the 8305-8340 MHz band - Earlybird 1 and Earlybird 2. Subsequently, the Bureau granted EarthWatch's

- the X-band. Nevertheless, according to Space Imaging, the Commission has licensed both GSO and NGSO EESS satellite systems without the need for adopting specific service rules or sharing criteria, and argues that it would be unnecessary to impose the default service rules on EESS. Space Imaging further asserts that the majority of the default service rules referred to in Section 25.217 of the Commission's rules, by their own terms, do not apply to an in-orbit EESS system. Specifically, Space Imaging maintains that Sections 25.142(d), 25.143(b)(2)(ii), 25.143(b)(2)(iii), 25.204(g), and 25.210(c) of the default service rules are inapplicable.

- In adopting the default rules, the Commission stated that where the default rules are not appropriate in a particular case, they would be superceded by subsequently adopted service rules. Although the Commission has not adopted band specific service rules for EESS NGSO operations in the X-band, the Commission has previously granted a waiver of the default service rules in Section 25.217(b) to an NGSO EESS system licensee. Specifically, in the Space Imaging Order, the Commission concluded that EESS in the X-band operators are required to comply with technical requirements in Part 2 of the Commission's rules, and the applicable ITU rules. Based on its determination that these requirements have been sufficient in the past to prevent harmful interference in the X-band,

- Commission has not adopted specific service rules for NGSO V-band operations. In the First Space Station Licensing Reform Order, the Commission stated that, rather than delaying licensing in cases where it had adopted a domestic allocation for a particular service but had not adopted specific service rules in Part 25, it would license systems based on specified default rules. Section 25.217(b)(1) of the Commission's rules contains a list of the default rules that apply to NGSO-like satellites. The Commission also stated that, absent Part 25 rules, it would require licensees to comply with any applicable ITU technical requirements. Thus, Northrop Grumman's V-band NGSO system must comply with the applicable default rules and any applicable ITU requirements. We note, however, that the
