Finally, the Commission codified these procedures in Section 25.220 of its rules. The Commission also adopted several other earth station streamlining measures. In particular, it established a 15-year license term for earth station licenses, and eliminated the licensing requirement for receive-only earth stations receiving transmissions from non-U.S.-licensed satellites on the Permitted List.

In other words, a power reduction can reduce the side lobe energy to levels that fall within the levels that would be produced if the maximum allowable power level were transmitted by an antenna that complies with the antenna gain pattern envelope in Section 25.209(a) and (b). Accordingly, we propose creating a new Section 25.220 to effectively implement an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) density vs. off-axis angle criterion beginning at 1° off-axis. In this way, the off-axis EIRP density would be maintained equivalent to that provided by routine earth stations at 2° and beyond.
