X4#o\  PC9XP# Report No. SPB87`(#+Released: July 15, 1997 CLARIFICATION OF EX PARTE STATUS OF 28 GHz KABAND APPLICATION PROCEEDINGS  X4 This Public Notice is intended to clarify the ex parte status of applications filed in several interrelated Commission proceedings involving the 28 GHz frequency band. As the  X4Commission stated in a Public Notice released on April 20, 1994, Public Notice, 9 FCC Rcd  X42081 (1994)("Public Notice"), over 450 entities had filed applications requesting authority to operate radio facilities in the 28 GHz band. These applications involved three different services: (1) the local multipoint distribution service ("LMDS"); (2) the fixedsatellite service  Xy4("FSS"); and (3) fixed feeder links for the mobilesatellite service ("MSS"). In the Public  Xd4Notice, the Commission announced that these applications were mutually exclusive and that ex  XO4parte presentations were prohibited with respect to these applications under 47 C.F.R.  1.1208(a). Since that time, the Commission has issued a Report and Order adopting a band segmentation plan that designates discrete frequencies for LMDS operations, MSS feeder link operations, and FSS operations. The plan further subdivides the designated FSS spectrum into specific frequencies for geostationarysatellite ("GSO") FSS satellites and for non X4geostationary satellite orbit ("NGSO") FSS satellites. Rulemaking to Amend Parts 1, 2, 21,  X4and 25 of the Commission's Rules, 11 FCC Rcd 19005 (1996). No petitions for  X4reconsideration were filed with respect to the band segmentation plan. For this reason, if the  Xo 4frequency band designated for a service (LMDS, MSS Feeder Link, GSOFSS, or NGSOFSS) for which authorization is sought differs from the band designated for a service of  XA"4another application, we will no longer treat those applications as mutually exclusive.  X$4 Applications within the same band or service may, however, still be mutually exclusive. Mutual exclusivity could arise as a consequence of requests for overlapping frequencies made in the same service band or for other reasons. We wish to clarify, forX%0*&&aai$3 !xT X example, that certain satellite applications that are pending in the 28 GHz band will be treated  X4as mutually exclusive. Specifically, in 1992 , the Commission granted Norris Satellite Communications, Inc. a license to construct and operate a GSOFSS system in the 28 D On X4`)(#[ DA 971490 ăDGHz  X4band.  See Norris Satellite Communications, Inc., 7 FCC Rcd 4289 (1992). In 1996, the International Bureau revoked Norris's license for failure to implement the system in  X4compliance with the milestone schedule required by its license.  See Norris Satellite  Xz4Communications, 11 FCC Rcd 5402 (Int'l Bur. 1996). Norris subsequently filed an  Xe4Application for Review of the Bureau's Order and its appeal is pending before the Commission. The International Bureau, under delegated authority, has also granted 15 licenses for firstround GSOFSS applicants in the 28 GHz frequency band, reassigning the  X 4orbit location that had been assigned to Norris to a new licensee. Assignment of Orbital  X 4Locations to Space Stations in the KaBand, DA 97967 (rel., May 9, 1997). On May 23, 1997, Norris filed a request for stay of the Assignment Order.  X 4 If the Norris application were to be reinstated on appeal, there may be an insufficient number of orbit locations to accommodate all of the other firstround GSOFSS licensees.  X4Therefore, the Norris and GSOFSS applications will be treated as mutually exclusive for ex  X4parte purposes.  Accordingly, ex parte presentations concerning the merits or the outcome of  Xp4any of these interrelated applications will be prohibited until the application proceedings are no longer subject to administrative reconsideration or review or judicial review. 47 C.F.R.   XB41.1202 (d)(1), 1.208. An ex parte presentation is any communication (spoken or written) directed to the merits or outcome of a proceeding made to a Commissioner, a Commissioner's assistant, or decisionmaking staff member, that, if written, is not served on other parties to the proceeding or, if oral, is made without advance notice and an opportunity for all parties to be present.
