Nevertheless, the intensive use of spectrum  d(#below 1 GHz requires careful consideration for each allocation of spectrum to new operations in  d(#this frequency range. Based on our consideration of the demand for Little LEO operations  d(#>demonstrated at WRC95, but recognizing the heavy incumbent use of these bands, we are  d(#[commencing this proceeding to develop a complete record on whether to allocate spectrum for Little LEO operations in the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands.  X-A. Need for Additional NVNG MSS Spectrum.  v 7. The Commission has supported the development of the Little LEO service as an"B,-(-(ZZ"  d(#affordable means to meet the growing demand for lowcost mobile datamessaging and position  X- d(#determination services.`w {Ob-ԍSee First Allocation for Little LEOs R&O.` We note that the Commission and the MSS satellite proponents  d(#jperformed a substantial amount of work to prepare for WRC95 and that numerous studies and  d(#[supporting documents were filed in that docket to support additional allocations for Little LEO  X- d(#/operations. For example, the FCC Industry Advisory Committee Final Report ("IAC Final  X- d(#kReport") indicates that studies by Little LEO proponents estimate a "capturable" Little LEO  Xz- d(#\market in North America in excess of 40 million users by the year 2000.zZw {O -ԍSee IAC Final Report at 81 and 111, filed May 5, 1995 in IC Docket No. 9431. Ē These proponents  d(#jstress that the substantial subscriber demand for Little LEO services is due to their operational characteristics which include:  v XLowcost subscriber equipment and services resulting from use of VHF/UHF frequencies, data transmissions only, and low investment requirements;(#  v lXTwoway ubiquitous global communications capabilities for the first time combined with low subscriber costs;(#  v ?XEnabling technologies such as pocket portability and long battery life, two fundamental requirements for numerous applications;(# XInterconnectivity and compatibility with email systems; and(# XComplementary with mobile computers and global positioning system ("GPS") devices.(#  v 8. As a result of the record developed in the WRC95 Preparation Docket, we determined  d(#.that one of our primary goals at WRC95 would be the facilitation, introduction and expansion  X- d(#of new MSS technologies, including Little LEOs below 1 GHz.yw {Ob-ԍSee Report at 6, IC Docket No. 9431, 10 FCC Rcd 12783 (1995).y The WRC95 preparation  X- d(#[Report relied upon a finding in an IAC Interim Report that MSS operations below 1 GHz would  d(#need an additional 7 to 10 megahertz of spectrum by the year 2000 and an additional 13 to 20  X- d(#megahertz by the year 2010.~w {O -ԍSee IAC Interim Report at 65, filed December 30, 1994 in IC Docket No. 9431. As further evidence of the need for additional Little LEO  d(#spectrum, the IAC Final Report found that the currently allocated NVNG MSS spectrum is  d(#[heavily used by existing terrestrial services and it is unlikely that this spectrum is sufficient for  d(#/all pending United States applicants and licensed systems to operate simultaneously while  X&-providing reliable commercial grades of service.X&w {O%-ԍSee IAC Final Report at 81.X ",-(-(ZZ"Ԍ X- v 9. Proposal. We tentatively find that additional spectrum for NVNG MSS is needed to  d(#facilitate the competitive development of the Little LEO service. Although NVNG MSS has been  d(#^allocated 4.05 megahertz of spectrum below 1 GHz (2.2 megahertz for uplinks and 1.85  d(#megahertz for downlinks), we note that this spectrum is often shared with a number of incumbent  d(#operations, a factor which limits the capacity of Little LEO systems to meet service demands.  d(#-We tentatively conclude that an allocation of additional spectrum will enable Little LEO licensees  d(#xto develop cost effective systems with sufficient capacity to compete with other service providers  d(#in the telecommunications marketplace. Further, we note that the United States delegation for  d(#=WRC97 will seek an international allocation of additional spectrum below 1 GHz for Little LEO  d(#operations. Accordingly, we propose to allocate additional spectrum for Little LEO service and request comment on this proposal.  X -B. Allocation.  X - v   10. As a result of considerable analyses and studies at WRC95, the 455456 MHz and  d(#459460 MHz bands were allocated internationally in Region 2 for Little LEO uplinks. Several  d(#other frequency bands were considered at WRC95 but, for various reasons, were ultimately not  d(#allocated for Little LEOs. We note that the WRC95 Preparation Docket contains sharing  d(#analyses and spectrum utilization studies which indicate that these bands may have potential  d(#?capacity for sharing with Little LEO uplinks without creating an unacceptable impact on  X6- d(#lincumbent operations.6w {O- v =ԍSee, e.g., Joint Supplemental Reply Comments at Appendix A, filed May 18, 1995 in IC Docket No. 9431;  {Oy-and IAC Final Report at 98. Although the international allocation in Region 2 for Little LEO  d(#joperations in these bands is on a coprimary basis with fixed and mobile services, international  d(#yfootnote S5.286B states that MSS stations in these bands are not to cause harmful interference  X- d(#to, or claim protection from, stations of the fixed or mobile services.T$w {O-ԍSee supra note 5.T Additionally, footnote  d(#S5.286C states that these MSS stations are not to constrain the development and use of this  d(#jspectrum by the fixed and mobile services. Therefore, even though Little LEO operations have  d(#a Region 2 primary allocation in these bands, their operations are effectively secondary to fixed and mobile services.  v  11. In view of the foregoing, we propose to allocate the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz  d(#bands for Little LEOs on a coprimary basis subject to the provisions of international footnotes  d(#S5.286A, B, and C and request comment on this proposal. Notwithstanding that the WRC95  d(#Preparatory Docket concluded that these bands may have potential capacity for sharing with Little  d(#MLEO uplinks without creating an unacceptable impact on incumbent operations, we request  d(#Ladditional comment on whether there is sufficient spectrum sharing capacity in these bands to  d(#support the proposed allocation for Little LEOs and on whether there are techniques available that  d(#would permit Little LEOs to share this spectrum without causing harmful interference to or  X!- d(#>constraining the development of incumbent operations. If so, we also request comment on"!,-(-(ZZ "  d(#jwhether a primary allocation with technical sharing requirements would be sufficient to protect incumbent operations.  v  12. In this regard, Commission staff analysis indicates that there are more than 25,000  d(#Part 74 auxiliary broadcast transmitters authorized to use the 455456 MHz band throughout the  X- d(#United States.`w {O-ԍSee 47 C.F.R.  2.106 and  74.402.` Since many auxiliary broadcast remote pickup channels in the 455456 MHz  d(#[band tend to be used only intermittently and Little LEO transmissions are currently limited to a  d(#.short duration of only 450 milliseconds in the 148149.9 MHz band, Little LEO systems may be  d(#able to search the spectrum for unused channels and accomplish their communications without  X1- d(#-hindering incumbent use. Further, as indicated in the Commission's WRC95 preparatory Report,  d(#Little LEO channel assignment and low power techniques combined with brief message duration  X - d(#and geographic separation may be able to protect broadcast auxiliary use.z Zw {O-ԍSee Report at 26, IC Docket No. 9431, FCC 95256 (1995).z We note, however,  d(#that the signal integrity of broadcast programming material must be maintained and that Little  d(#LEO operations will not be permitted to cause harmful interference to such auxiliary broadcast  d(#signals. We invite comment on the feasibility of spectrum sharing between Little LEO transmissions and the terrestrial broadcast remote pickup operations.  X{- v ? 13. Also, Little LEO uplinks in the 459-460 MHz band would have to be compatible with  Xd- d(#.a wide variety of fixed and mobile services authorized under Parts 22, 80 and 90 of the Rules.dw yO- v \ԍThese diverse terrestrial operations have been able to share this spectrum due to geographical separation, frequency separation and the intermittent use of the channels by some operations.  d(#{We note that certain operations in this frequency range, such as petroleum radio service  d(#operations at 459.0 MHz and BETRS operations, may be used only intermittently but require a  d(#high degree of reliability. Additionally, we note plans to auction channels in the 459.025459.65  d(#-MHz segment to Part 22 licensees for such operations as common carrier paging, twoway mobile  d(#telephony, and rural radiotelephony. We thus seek comment on whether using the 459460 MHz  d(#band for Little LEO operations would be compatible with current and future fixed and mobile  d(#operations. Specifically, we seek comment on whether certain portions of this band should not  d(#zbe allocated for Little LEO operations and on the feasibility of auctioning the 459.025459.65 MHz segment to Part 22 licensees and also using this spectrum for Little LEO operations.  Xg-C. Spectrum Sharing.  v  14. With respect to spectrum sharing between Little LEO operations and incumbent fixed  d(#and mobile operations in the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands, we note that this was  d(#initially addressed in preparation for WRC95. While the sharing studies in IC Docket No. 9431  d(#lwere sufficient to justify seeking NVNG MSS uplink allocations in these bands, WRC95  d(#kconcluded that additional analysis was necessary. Specifically, WRC95 acknowledged the  d(#demand for additional NVNG MSS spectrum, but it noted that spectrum below 1 GHz is" D,-(-(ZZ"  d(#extensively used by many services and that new technologies of some radio services, especially  d(#within the terrestrial mobile and broadcasting services, may have an impact on the sharing  d(#<possibilities. Accordingly, WRC95 adopted Resolution 214 to invite the study and development  d(#=of recommendations on technical and operational issues related to sharing between Little LEO  d(#xoperations and other services having allocations in the bands proposed at that conference, and in  X-other bands as necessary.]w {O-ԍSee Final Acts at 695, Resolution 214.]  v 15. Since WRC95, Informal Working Group 2A ("IWG2A") has been tasked with  d(#/analyzing NVNG MSS below 1 GHz for WRC97, including spectrum sharing between Little  X1- d(#LEO operations and other services. We note, however, that although the IWG2A Final Report  X - d(#j indicates that frequency sharing between NVNG MSS uplinks and land mobile service stations  d(#may be feasible in the 450470 MHz band, that report did not specifically focus on the 455456  d(#MHz and 459460 MHz segments at issue in the instant proceeding. In addition, it appears that  X - d(#the IWG2A conclusions may in part be based on theoretical assumption s such as low trafficlevel  d(#mobile incumbent usage and that certain engineering techniques, such as the Dynamic Channel  X - d(#Activity Assignment System ("DCAAS"),, Zw yO- v ԍDCAAS allows MSS mobile Earth uplink stations to communicate effectively in the presence of nearly co d(#channel interference from mobile transmitters. In a DCAAS scheme, the satellite scans the entire uplink band for  d(#xterrestrial channel activity. The instantaneous power level at the satellite for each channel is recorded and these  d(#measurements are combined with past measurements in a weighted time average for each potential channel. This  d(#Kweighted time average takes into account the short and longterm statistics of talker and calling activity and the  d(#channels are then ranked from most to least desirable in terms of potential for interference. The list of available  d(#Zchannels is sent to the mobile Earth stations and each satellite periodically updates the list of available channels.  d(#MSS uplink channels can be reassigned (on the order of every 10 seconds) in response to statistical time variation  {O- d(#of channel use by mobile transmitters. See Recommendation ITUR M.1039 at 8. Additionally, the digital band d(#scanning receiver to be used by one Little LEO system can detect a 0.5 second duration, 460 MHz, 2.5 kHz  d(#,bandwidth, 3.5 milliwatts ("mW") transmit power signal anywhere in the satellite footprint with 99.9% probability.  d(#ZFor a 16 kHz signal the sensitivity is 22 mW. At 149 MHz the transmit power sensitivities are 0.4 mW and 2.3  {O-mW, for 2.5 kHz and 16 kHz signals, respectively. See IWG2A Final Report at 31. which have been successfully used to permit Little  d(#LEO sharing in the 148149.9 MHz band, may readily be applied to the instant bands. As  d(#Motorola points out, however, the 455 MHz and 459 MHz bands are more heavily used by  d(#incumbent commercial operations than the 148149.9 MHz band is used by incumbent  XM- d(#{Government operations. MN w {OL - v ԍSee Motorola Comments in Ref. No. ISP96005 ("Joint Preliminary Draft Proposals for WRC97"), at 1617 & n.24. Therefore, the issues of spectrum sharing between Little LEO  d(#Loperations and incumbent operations in the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands are complex  d(#and will be thoroughly explored in a future, separate proceeding that will focus on developing  d(#.appropriate service and licensing rules. Nevertheless, as previously indicated, we are seeking  d(#comment in the instant proceeding on whether there is sufficient sharing capacity in these bands  d(#to support the proposed allocation for Little LEOs and on whether there are techniques available  X- d(#jthat would permit Little LEOs to share this spectrum without c ausing harmful interference to or" ,-(-(ZZS" constraining the development of incumbent operations.

Need for and Objectives of the Proposed Rules.\  X - This Notice proposes to allocate the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands to the Mobile Satellite Service (Earthtospace) ("MSS uplinks") on a primary basis for nonvoice, nongeostationary mobile satellite services ("NVNG MSS"). This service, also referred to as the "Little LEO" satellite service, uses constellations of lowEarth orbiting ("LEO") satellites to provide commercial radiolocation and twoway data messaging services to potential customers anywhere in the world. We take this action on our own initiative in order to adopt domestically the NVNG MSS allocation adopted at the 1995 World Radiocommunication  X!-Conference ("WRC95").#!e {O- n |ԍ  See Final Acts of the World Radio[communication] Conference (WRC95) Geneva, 1995, Geneva,  {O-17 November 1995 ("Final Acts"). This proposal addresses the growing demand for NVNG MSS and could provide satellite operators with increased flexibility in the design of their systems.  X-  X- B. Legal Basis. This action is taken pursuant to Sections 4(i), 7(a), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(i), 157(a), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r).  XR- C. Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to Which the Proposed Rules Will Apply.  X$- The Commission has not developed a definition of small entities relevant to satellite services" F#0*%%ZZ[1" licensees. Therefore, the applicable definition of small entity in the satellite services industry is the definition under the Small Business Administration (SBA) rules applicable to  X-Communications Services "Not Elsewhere Classified."|$e yOK-ԍ  13 C.F.R.  121.201, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 4899.| This definition provides that a small entity is expressed as one with $11.0 million or less in annual receipts. According to Census Bureau data, there are 848 firms that fall under the category of Communications Services, Not Elsewhere Classified. Of those, approximately 775 reported annual receipts of $11 million or  Xv-less and qualify as small entities.H%XvXe yO - n ԍ  U.S. Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1992 Census of Transportation,  d(#,Communications, and Utilities, UC92S1, Subject Series, Establishment and Firm Size, Table 2D, Employment Size of Firms: 1992, SIC Code 4899 (issued May 1995).H The Census Bureau category is very broad and commercial satellite services constitute only a subset of its total. Although it is difficult to estimate the number of Little LEO entities that will utilize the  X -spectrum proposed in this Notice, we note that the Commission has licensed three entities to provide Little LEO services in the United States: Orbital Communications Corporation ("Orbcomm"), Starsys Global Positioning, Inc. ("Starsys"), and Volunteers in Technical Assistance ("VITA"). Additionally, five more entities have filed applications with the Commission to provide Little LEO services: LEO One USA Corporation ("LEO One"); CTA Commercial Systems; ESat, Inc.; Final Analysis Communication Service, Inc. ("FACS"); and GE American Communications, Inc. ("GE Americom"). Of the eight potential Little LEO licensees that may ultimately utilize these bands if allocated, only VITA and LEO One qualify  Xd-as small businesses.&dxe {O-ԍ  See Notice of Proposed Rule Making at 44, IB Docket No. 96426, FCC 96426, (1996). The other six entities are not small businesses because they each have revenues in excess of $11 million annually or have parent companies or investors that have revenues in excess of $11 million annually. We request comment on the description and number of small entities that are significantly impacted by this proposal. Additionally, we note that there are numerous small entities that currently operate terrestrial fixed and mobile radio systems in the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands under Parts 22, 74, 80 and 90 of our rules. However, in a future proceeding we will consider technical limitations on the new Little LEO operations in these bands in order to prevent harmful interference to incumbent fixed and mobile operations. We have not proposed any rule changes to the incumbent fixed and mobile operations. Accordingly, we do not believe this proposed action will have a negative impact on small entities that currently operate in the 455456 MHz and 459460 MHz bands.  X"- D. Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other Compliance"" &0*%%ZZz1" Requirements.  X- In this proceeding, we are proposing to allocate this spectrum to NVNG MSS. The licensing and technical regulations governing these operations will be addressed in a separate proceeding. Therefore, this proposed action does not create any reporting or compliance requirements.  X_- E. Significant Alternatives to Proposed Rules which Minimize Significant Economic  XH-Impact on Small Entities and Accomplish Stated Objectives. No Petitions for Rule Making were filed to initiate this proceeding and there are no comments in this proceeding that suggest alternatives to this proposed allocation. International regulations require that NVNG MSS operations not cause harmful interference to nor constrain the development of incumbent operations which should minimize the impact on incumbent small entities. We request comment on further alternatives that might minimize the amount of economic impact on small entities.  Xy- F. Federal Rules that May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict with the Proposed Rules. None.
