    Needs and Uses: The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking solicits public 
comment on the Commission's proposals for rules and policies to govern 
the licensing and provision of service by voice and data mobile 
satellite service (MSS) systems in the 1610-1626.5/2483.5-2500 MHz band 
(1.6/2.4 GHz MSS).
    As required by section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the 
Commission has prepared an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
(IRFA) of the expected impact on small entities of the proposals 
suggested in this document.

Summary of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking represents the next step in the 
process of licensing the world's first commercial low-earth orbit 
satellites offering both voice and data mobile satellite services 
(MSS). These satellites are to operate in the 1610-1626.5/2483.5-2500 
MHz frequency bands (1.6/2.4 GHz bands). The proposed systems are to 
provide a wide range of services, including cellular-like mobile 
services to users anywhere, telephone service to remote areas that are 
not linked to a communications network, position location services, 
search and rescue communications, disaster management communications, 
environmental monitoring, paging services, facsimile transmission 
services, cargo tracking, educational communications, and industrial 
monitoring. In addition to offering these services to users in the 
United States, the proposed low-earth orbit systems have the capability 
to extend these offerings throughout the world. This can potentially 
expand markets for U.S.-developed goods and services and to make a 
major contribution to U.S. global competitiveness. It also offers the 
potential for significant economic and social advances in developing 
countries by providing an ``instant'' telecommunications infrastructure 
at minimum cost.
    Six applications to construct satellite systems in these frequency 
bands were filed by the cut-off date. Five proposed low-Earth orbit 
(LEO) systems. These were filed by Ellipsat Corporation, Motorola 
Satellite Communications Inc., Constellation Communications, Loral/
Qualcomm Corporation, and TRW, Inc. The other application was filed by 
American Mobile Satellite Corporation. AMSC proposed to add the 
additional MSS frequencies to its geostationary satellite orbit (GSO) 
MSS system that was authorized in 1989. An international allocation for 
MSS in these frequency bands was made in February 1992; a domestic 
allocation was adopted in December 1993.
    A negotiated rulemaking was undertaken from January through April 
1993 to assist the Commission in establishing technical and operational 
rules to govern this new service (hereinafter 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS) and in 
developing an arrangement by which all six pending system proposals 
could be accommodated. Neither the Commission nor the applicants were 
able to fashion a spectrum sharing compromise that was acceptable to 
all. The Committee did, however, reach consensus regarding other major 
technical issues. After the Negotiated Rulemaking was concluded, the 
LEO applicants, in two new ``partial settlement'' groups, submitted two 
new sharing proposals they assert would permit all LEO applications to 
be granted. Both proposals are premised on excluding GSO systems from 
consideration for licensing in these frequency bands.

Licensing Procedure

    If the applicants can develop or agree to an engineering solution 
or sharing scheme by which all proposed systems can be accommodated, 
the Commission generally adopts this approach if it is otherwise in the 
public interest. In situations where all applicants' proposed systems 
cannot be accommodated, the Commission must devise a method consistent 
with the public interest for choosing among them. In such cases, the 
Commission has, as an initial matter, imposed rigorous financial and 
technical requirements as a means of ensuring that those granted 
licenses are capable of expeditiously implementing state-of-the-art 
systems that will serve the public interest. If it is not possible to 
accommodate all qualified applicants, a further processing mechanism 
must be selected.

Qualification Requirements

    As a means of encouraging new technology and of realizing the 
unique benefits that a global system can provide, the Commission 
proposes a LEO design requirement (proposed rule Sec. 25.143(b)(2)(i)). 
It solicits comment on this proposal from both applicants and potential 
users, requesting that commenters address the potential for 1.6/2.4 GHz 
MSS systems to generate social, economic, and technical benefits, both 
domestically and globally, and the extent to which these benefits are 
realizable with LEO and GSO satellites. The Commission further proposes 
that systems be capable of serving all areas of the world, except for 
the polar regions, for at least 75% of each day. Specifically, the 
Commission proposes that satellite systems be designed so that at least 
one satellite is visible above the horizon at an elevation angle of at 
least 5 deg. for at least 18 hours each day at latitudes less than 
80 deg. (proposed rule Sec. 25.143(b)(2)(11)). To provide efficient and 
ubiquitous service to users throughout the United States, the 
Commission also proposes to require systems to be capable of providing 
continuous voice services to all areas of the United States (proposed 
rule Sec. 25.143(b)(2)(iii)). That is, satellite systems must be 
designed so that at least one satellite is visible above the horizon at 
elevation angles of at least 5 deg. at any given time in all areas of 
the United States.
    Further, the Commission proposes strict financial qualification 
requirements identical to those in the domestic fixed-satellite 
service, where applications to implement space stations regularly 
exceed the number that can be accommodated (proposed 
Sec. 25.143(b)(3)). Specifically, the Commission proposes that MSS 
applicants be required to provide evidence of current assets or 
irrevocably committed debt or equity financing sufficient to meet the 
estimated costs of constructing and launching all planned satellites 
and operating the system for one year. These requirements stem from the 
Commission's repeated experience that licensees without sufficient 
resources spend a significant amount of time attempting to raise the 
capital needed to finance a satellite system (here, $97 million to $2 
billion), that these attempts often end unsuccessfully, and that 
qualified fully-financed applicants may be blocked from entry during 
this several-year period.
    All applicants will be given the opportunity to amend their 
applications to bring them into compliance with any final rules.

Processing Alternatives

    While a sharing solution could not be developed during the 
Negotiated Rulemaking, the Commission believes that the recent LEO 
sharing proposals may form the basis for allowing it to proceed 
expeditiously with licensing. Both of the LEO applicants' proposals 
appear to allow up to five LEO systems to be accommodated in the 16.5 
MHz of spectrum allocated to MSS in each transmission direction. This 
may be sufficient to allow all qualified applicants to be licensed.
    The Commission proposes to assign licensees implementing code-
division multiple access (CDMA) systems to 11.35 MHz of shared 
bandwidth at 1610-1621.35 MHz. It further proposes to assign a 
frequency division multiple access (FDMA)/time division access (TDMA) 
system to 5.15 MHz of dedicated bandwidth at 1621.35-1626.5 MHz. When a 
system is launched and read to begin operating, it will be permitted to 
operate over the entire assigned bandwidth for that technology. Any in-
orbit CDMA system will be required to operate compatibly with any newly 
launched CDMA system. If only one CDMA system is implemented, the plan 
proposes to adjust the assignments for the system to 8.25 MHz at 1610-
1618.25 MHz, leaving the freed spectrum available for possible 
reassignment to the FDMA licensee or for new entry. The Commission 
believes that 8.25 MHz should be ample to support a first-generation 
system and should provide some flexibility in coordinating the system 
internationally.
    The plan includes the 1.6 GHz band only. While CDMA systems will 
use the 2.4 GHz band for downlink transmissions, an FDMA/TDMA system 
will use the 1.6 GHz band for both uplink and downlink transmissions. 
This may free some spectrum in the 2.4 GHz band and provide some 
flexibility in assigning specific downlink spectrum segments to CDMA 
licensees. For example, the Commission may decide to avoid licensing in 
those portions of the 2.4 GHz band that are especially susceptible to 
inter-service interference. Thus, while the Commission proposes to 
license CDMA operators to share the same amount of 2.4 GHz downlink 
spectrum as 1.6 GHz uplink spectrum, it does not propose specific 
frequencies for downlink operations at this time.
    The commission requests comment on all aspects of its sharing 
proposal.

Other Alternatives if Mutual Exclusivity is Not Resolved

    If the Commission's spectrum sharing plan, or some variation of it, 
does not permit the applications of all qualified applicants to be 
granted, the Commission must devise a procedure for choosing among 
those applicants. Possibilities include a comparable hearing, an 
auction, or a lottery. These alternatives are briefly discussed and, to 
expedite licensing if mutual exclusivity is not resolved, the 
Commission proposes structures for both an auction and a lottery.
    The Commission's experience with comparative hearings has shown 
they usually are prolonged. Here, they would not only delay the 
provision of needed service to the United States public, but the delay 
could disadvantage the United States in coordinating a licensed system 
internationally. For these reasons, it may not be advisable to hold a 
comparative hearing.
    The 1993 Budget Act gives the Commission the authority to employ 
competitive bidding procedures to select licensees from among two or 
more mutually exclusive applicants provided that certain criteria are 
met. The Commission believes it mutual exclusivity among the applicants 
cannot be resolved, an auction may be considered. Specifically, MSS 
licensees will be providing a commercial subscription-based service 
that will enable subscribers to transmit or receive MSS transmissions 
in the frequencies on which the MSS space stations will be licensed to 
operate. A competitive bidding system should permit a new service to be 
more rapidly introduced than would a comparative hearing. It should 
also allow the public to recover the value of the public spectrum 
resource being made available for commercial use. Further, it should 
encourage efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum by encouraging 
applicants to bid on only the minimum amount of spectrum needed. The 
Commission recognizes that the statute also directs it to promote 
economic opportunity by disseminating licenses to a wide variety of 
licensees, including small and minority businesses. It requests comment 
on the manner in which this statutory obligation can be taken into 
account. The Commission also recognizes that an auction may have 
unintended consequences internationally by encouraging other countries 
to impose licensing costs on MSS systems. The Commission will carefully 
consider these concerns.
    The Commission envisions that if an auction is employed, it will be 
conducted pursuant to the general framework adopted in its Competitive 
Bidding Implementation Proceeding (PP Docket No. 93-253). The 
Commission also proposes service-specific criteria. To maximize 
multiple entry and to encourage applicants to bid only for the minimum 
amount of spectrum they require, the Commission proposes to auction the 
16.5 MHz of bandwidth in each transmission direction in eight paired 
2.0625 MHz uplink and downlink segments. Based on the applicants' 
proposals, it appears that some MSS systems could be implemented with 
as little as 2 to 4 MHz of spectrum in each transmission direction. To 
afford licensees some flexibility, however, the Commission proposes to 
allow applicants to big successfully on up to four segments, for a 
total of 8.25 MHz of bandwidth in each transmission direction. Given 
the CDMA applicants' proposals to share spectrum, the Commission also 
questions whether it should permit successful bidders to agree to pool 
their spectrum and implement co-frequency systems.
    Section 309(i) of the Budget Act also authorizes the use of a 
lottery to select from among one or more mutually exclusive applicants 
if the applications are accepted for filing before July 26, 1993. The 
Commission tentatively concludes that if mutual exclusivity cannot be 
resolved, the statutory requirements for a system of random selection 
are met. The Commission proposes to implement a lottery in a manner 
similar to its proposed auction framework. Specifically, eight 2.0625 
MHz paired segments would be offered, and each selectee would be 
limited to four segments. The Commission questions whether it may be 
advisable to permit applicants to agree among themselves that they will 
implement co-frequency systems if one of them is chosen as the 
tentative selectee, allowing the Commission to grant licenses to all 
qualified applicants in the pool.
    The Commission requests comment on all aspects of these alternative 
processing mechanisms.

Interservice Sharing

    The radioastronomy service (RAS), the aeronautical radionavigation 
service (ARS), the instructional television fixed-service (ITFS), a 
variety of terrestrial services, and industrial, scientific and medical 
(ISM) equipment all operate in portions of the bands allocated to MSS 
or in adjacent bands. The Committee studied the potential for 
interference between MSS and these services.
    The Committee, which included an RAS representative, reached a 
consensus regarding MSS-RAS sharing. These recommendations, which form 
the basis for the Commission's proposed rules (Sec. 25.213(a)), 
establish fixed radius protection zones around the sixteen radio 
astronomy sites in the United States and set technical requirements for 
MSS downlink transmissions.
    GLONASS, the Russian Global Navigation Satellite System, is 
operating in the 1610-1616 MHz band pursuant to International Radio 
Regulation RR 732. MSS stations may not cause harmful interference to 
or claim protection from stations operating under RR 732. During the 
Negotiated Rulemaking, the FAA indicated that it sought to use GLONASS 
in conjunction with the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) to provide 
aircraft ground approach and terminal communications. The Committee 
determined that MSS can coexist with GLONASS now, but if GLONASS were 
used as proposed by the FAA, the GLONASS/MSS interference problems at 
1610-1616 MHz would be unresolvable. The Committee proposed that 
GLONASS be moved below the 1610 MHz band or, in the alternative, that 
U.S. reliance on GLONASS be lessened or eliminated. Both inter-agency 
and international negotiations have been initiated on this issue. We 
are encouraged that even if GLONASS is used for aircraft approach 
communications, it will be moved to frequencies below 1610 MHz. The 
Committee's proposed rules regarding e.i.r.p. limits pursuant to RR 
731F and limitations on the use of MSS terminals on aircraft fall 
within accepted international standards and are set forth for comment 
(proposed Sec. 25.213(c)).
    The Committee also suggested a variety of solutions to the likely 
interference problems between MSS and other services, ranging from 
relocating existing licensees (e.g., ``grandfathered'' terrestrial 
stations operating in the 2483.5-2500 MHz band) to imposing stricter 
suppression requirements on transmissions in adjacent frequency bands 
(e.g., ITFS stations operating above 2500 MHz). However, these 
interests were not represented on the Committee, nor were the interests 
of ISM operators in the 2483.5-2500 MHz band. In these cases, the 
Commission does not believe that it can propose sharing rules without 
developing the record more fully. It therefore requests comment on the 
interference environment and possible solutions from affected 
operators.

Feeder Links

    Since the fixed-satellite frequencies to be used for LEO MSS feeder 
links may also be used by GSO satellites, the Committee studied the 
sharing potential between LEO and GSO satellites. It concluded that 
sharing was feasible. The Committee also studied the obligations of the 
United States under RR 2613, which essentially requires a LEO operator 
to cease operations when unacceptable interference is cause to a GSO 
system. To afford LEO operators some protection, the Committee 
suggested that the U.S. seek international agreement that RR 2613 will 
not be invoked to require a LEO operator to terminate transmissions 
unless: (1) The affected administrations reach agreement as to a level 
of ``accepted interference,'' (2) the LEO system is operating in excess 
of these levels, and (3) the excess interference is caused by the LEO 
satellite's failure to maintain sufficient angular separation between 
the satellites.
    The Commission accepted the Committee's analysis that sharing 
between LEO feeder links and GSO systems is feasible with coordination. 
Further, the Commission agrees with the Committee's interpretation of 
RR 2613 and has already begun to explore, in international forums, 
issues relating to international coordination of and protection for LEO 
system feeder links.
    Several applicants request feeder links in the 5/6 GHz frequency 
bands (C-band); other request the 20/30 GHz bands (Ka-band). The FAA 
opposes feeder links at 5 GHz, arguing that feeder link operations 
would be incompatible with its intended use of the band for new 
navigation aids. In a related Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
regarding the Local Multi-point Distribution Service (CC Docket No. 92-
297; FCC No. 94-12) 59 FR 7964, February 17. 1994 adopted the same day 
as this Notice, the Commission proposes to conduct a negotiated 
rulemaking to assist it in assigning the 27.5-30.0 GHz frequency band. 
It expects, in the context of that proceeding, to be able to identify 
sufficient spectrum to satisfy 1.6/2/4 GHz MSS operators. The 
Commission will, however, continue to pursue feeder links at 5 GHz and 
will allow applicants to incorporate these bands or other bands if they 
become available.

Intersatellite Links

    Motorola's proposed system system includes intersatellite links in 
the 23.18-23.38 GHz band. The Committee concluded that Motorola's use 
of this band would be compatible with other operations in the band. The 
Committee's recommended rules regarding intersatellite service 
frequencies, coordination with government agencies, and sharing 
criteria are contained in proposed rule Sec. 25.279.

Service Rules

Regulatory Classification

    The 1993 Budget Act requires that the provision of space segment 
capacity directly to commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) providers 
be treated as common carriage. However, the Act gives the Commission 
the discretion to determine whether the provision of space segment 
capacity to CMRS providers should be treated as common carriage. (Most 
of the pending applicants propose to offer service through resellers.) 
The Commission tentatively concludes that 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS offering 
will, in most cases, fall within the definition of CMRS. The Commission 
requests comment on whether 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS space station licensees 
making satellite capacity available to CMRS providers should be 
required to operate as common carriers. Specifically, the Commission 
requests comment regarding whether there may be any public interest 
reasons to impose a legal compulsion upon 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS operators to 
serve the public indifferently, and whether a decision to exempt 
operators from common carriage requirements will allow them to engage 
in unreasonable or anticompetitive practices. The Commission recognizes 
that requiring common carriage may limit the amount of foreign 
participation in these inherently global systems, potentially impeding 
international coordination of these satellites. The Commission requests 
comment on the extent to which applicants are seeking foreign 
investment and the extent to which a common carriage requirement may 
impact their plans. The Commission also requests comment regarding the 
likelihood that 1.6/2.4 GHz MSS space station capacity will inherently 
be offered as an indifferent holding out to the public.

System License and License Term

    The Commission also proposes licensing and service rules (proposed 
rules Secs. 25.143(a), (c) and (d), 25.120(e), and 25.143(e) and (g)). 
These include blanket licensing for the space segment, a ten year 
operating license that begins to run when the first LEO satellite is 
launched, authority to replace older satellites as they are retired, a 
filing window for next-generation system proposals, system 
implementation milestones, and an annual reporting requirement.

Mobile Earth Station Licensing

    The Commission proposes to license gateway and tracking, telemetry 
and control (TT&C) stations as fixed-satellite earth stations under 
part 25 of the Commission's Rules. It also proposes a blanket licensing 
approach for mobile user transceivers under which a service vendor 
would hold the authorization for a specified number of technically 
identical units. The Commission's proposals for earth station licensing 
are contained in Secs. 25.115(d) (applications for earth station 
authorizations); 25.130(b) (filing requirements for transmitting earth 
stations); 25.133(b) (period of construction; commencement of 
construction); 25.136 (operating provisions for earth station networks 
in the 1.6/2.4 GHz mobile-satellite service); and 25.213 (technical 
requirements for the 1.6/2.4 GHz mobile-satellite service). The 
Commission requests comment on these proposals.
    To help maintain an interference-free environment, the Commission 
proposes to require an end user to obtain the authorization of the 
space station operator, either directly or through an authorized 
service vendor, before the user may transmit to that system. The 
Commission believes that this approach will facilitate roaming by 
international user while still protecting the domestic electromagnetic 
environment.
    The regulatory treatment of earth station licensees will depend 
upon whether they will be providing CMRS, although the Commission 
expects that they will. Earth station licensees that provide CMRS must 
be regulated as common carriers.

International Coordination

    All space segment licensees will be required to provide the 
Commission with all information required for international 
coordination. The Commission will follow the coordination procedures 
prescribed by the International Telecommunication Union and will work 
with the global community to promote mobile satellite services through 
the development of sharing techniques and the exploration of other 
technical issues. The Commission will also require United States 
licensees to meet all international obligations any national 
requirements imposed by other licensing administrations regarding 
operations within their borders. All decisions relating to implementing 
1.6/2.4 GHz MSS within a country's territory will remain solely within 
that country's jurisdiction and control.

Procedural Matters

    This is a non-restricted notice and comment rulemaking proceeding. 
Ex parte presentations are permitted, except during the Sunshine Agenda 
period, provided that they are disclosed in accordance with Commission
