NG58 In the band 17.317.8 GHz, the following provisions shall apply to the broadcasting-satellite and fixed-satellite services:
a The use of the band 17.317.8 GHz by the broadcasting-satellite and fixedsatellite space-to-Earth services is limited to geostationary satellites.

c The use of the band 17.317.8 GHz by the fixed-satellite service Earth-tospace is limited to feeder links for broadcasting-satellite service.
d Earth stations in the fixed-satellite service space-to-Earth in the 17.717.8
GHz band shall not claim protection from stations in the fixed service that operate in that band.

Two-degree-compliant space station.
A GSO FSS space station operating in the conventional or extended C-bands, the conventional or extended Ku-bands, the 24.7525.25 GHz band, or the conventional or extended Ka-bands within the limits on downlink EIRP
density or PFD specified in 25.140a3 or b3 and communicating only with earth stations operating in conformance with routine uplink parameters specified in 25.211d, 25.212c, d, or f, or 25.218.

5. Amend 25.114 by revising paragraphs d7, 15 and 18 to read as follows:

7 Applicants for authorizations for space stations in the Fixed-Satellite Service, including applicants proposing feeder links for space stations operating in the 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite Service, must also include the information specified in 25.140a.
Applicants for authorizations for space stations in the 17/24 GHz BroadcastingSatellite Service or applicants seeking authorization for FSS space stations transmitting in the 17.317.8 GHz band space-to-Earth, must also include the information specified in 25.140b;

15 Each applicant for a space station license in the 17/24 GHz BroadcastingSatellite Service or the FSS transmitting in the 17.317.8 GHz band, shall include the following information as an attachment to its application:
i If the applicant proposes to operate in the 17.317.8 GHz band, a demonstration that the proposed space station will comply with the applicable power flux density limits in 25.140a3iii or b3 unless the applicant provides a certification under paragraph d15ii of this section.
ii In cases where the proposed space station will not comply with the applicable power flux density limits set forth in 25.140a3iii or b3, the applicant will be required to provide a certification that all potentially affected parties acknowledge and do not object to the use of the applicants higher power flux densities. The affected parties with whom the applicant must coordinate are those GSO 17/24 GHz

earth station license in the 17.319.4
GHz, 19.620.2 GHz, 27.529.1 GHz, or 29.2530 GHz bands not filed on FCC
Form 312EZ pursuant to paragraph a2 of this section must be filed on FCC Form 312, Main Form and Schedule B, and must include any information required by paragraphs a5 through 10 or g or j of this section.
2 Individual or blanket license applications may be filed for operation in the 17.317.8 GHz band; however, blanket licensed earth stations shall operate on an unprotected basis with respect to DBS feeder link earth stations.
All receiving FSS earth stations shall operate on an unprotected basis with respect to the Fixed Service in the 17.7
