Notice of 90-Day Period To Submit

ACTION:
Notice.
In this document, the
International Bureau (Bureau) provides
the following notice to operators of
certain incumbent FSS C-band earth
station antennas recently reported to the
Bureau by RSM US LLP (RSM), the Cband Relocation Coordinator, on behalf
of incumbent C-band satellite operators:
Failure to submit a filing affirming the
continued operation of the earth station
antennas reported to the Bureau as
inactive and the intent to participate in
the C-band transition will result in a
Bureau announcement that those
authorizations identified as inactive in
the Appendix attached to the Public
Notice document (PN) have
automatically terminated by operation
of rule, and that those authorizations
will be terminated in IBFS and removed
from the incumbent earth station list.
According to RSM, each antenna
included in the Appendix to the PN
document was reported by their earth
station operator to RSM or a satellite
operator as no longer receiving service
from a C-band satellite even though the
FCC’s International Bureau Filing
System (IBFS) continues to include the
antenna as active.
DATES: Identified earth station operators
must provide notice of operational
status by February 16, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of the Commission’s
document, DA 22–1202, released
November 18, 2022. The full text of this
document, along with the Appendix
identifying the specific earth station
antennas subject to automatic
termination, is available for public
inspection and can be downloaded at

205 on the Commission’s ECFS page at

Background. Under the Commission’s
3.7 GHz Band Report and Order, RSM
is responsible for coordinating with the
five incumbent C-band satellite
operators—Eutelsat, Intelsat, SES,
StarOne, and Telesat—to ensure that all
incumbent earth stations are accounted
for in the transition.1 The overwhelming
SUMMARY:
1 See Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2
GHz Band, Report and Order and Order of Proposed
Modification, 85 FR 22804, 22818–22820 (2020)
(3.7 GHz Band Report and Order). As a reminder,
the Commission decided in the 3.7 GHz Band

majority of incumbent earth stations
have been claimed by the satellite
operator(s) from which they receive
service, included in the relevant
satellite operators’ transition plans to
the Commission, and will be
transitioned to the upper 200 megahertz
of the band.2 RSM, as the C-band
Relocation Coordinator, and the satellite
operators have conducted outreach and
research to determine whether
incumbent earth station antennas are
still operational in the 3.7 GHz band
and, if so, from which satellite(s) the
earth station receives its service.3 RSM
has advised the Commission that it and
the incumbent satellite operators
regularly share the results of their
respective outreach efforts to better
coordinate the transition of incumbent
earth stations.
In the course of their outreach, the
satellite operators and RSM have
identified certain entries on the
incumbent list that they report include
antennas that are not active C-band
antennas in the 3.7 GHz band.
According to RSM, these entries
include: (1) C-band antennas that are
inactive or non-operational, (2)
authorizations that list more C-band
antennas than are currently operational
at a site,4 (3) duplicate authorizations by
the same entity for the same C-band
antennas, and (4) operational antennas
that do not receive in the 3.7 GHz band.5
RSM represents that these earth station
operators have failed to make filings in
the FCC’s IBFS to reflect the correct
status of those antennas.
On October 28, 2022, RSM submitted
a letter identifying these individual
earth station antennas that fall into one
of the three categories listed above,
which are included on the latest
incumbent earth station list and
Report and Order that it will no longer accept
applications for registration and licenses for FSS
operations in the 3.7–4.0 GHz band in the
contiguous United States and that it will not accept
applications for new earth stations in the 4.0–4.2
GHz band in the contiguous United States for the
time being, during the C-band transition. 3.7 GHz
Band Report and Order, 85 FR 22823.
2 47 CFR 27.1412(d) (transition plan
requirements). The satellite operators also file
quarterly status reports in GN Docket No. 20–173.
47 CFR 27.1412(f).
3 3.7 GHz Band Report and Order, 85 FR 22838.
4 According to RSM, in these cases an
authorization holder has included in IBFS, in one
or more callsigns, more C-band receive antennas at
a site than exist at that site—e.g., 10 antennas
registered when there are only six antennas at the
site.
5 For instance, RSM has represented that certain
antennas on the Incumbent List do not receive in
the 3.7 GHz band, but are instead antennas
operating on Ku band or Ka band frequencies.
