FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 25

[IB Docket No. 06-154; FCC 12-116]


2006 Biennial Regulatory Review

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission published a document in 
the Federal Register on February 6, 2013 (78 FR 8417), revising 
Commission rules. This document corrects the final regulation by 
revising certain provisions.

DATES: Effective on May 17, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Bell, Satellite Division, 
International Bureau, at 202-418-0741 or via email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Communications Commission 
published a rule on February 6, 2013 which became effective on March 8, 
2013. That document listed incorrect cross-references in the 
introductory text in Sec.  25.221(b) and, due to paragraph mis-
numbering, inadvertently replaced Sec.  25.221(a)(7), which should not 
have been changed, with a slightly revised version of the text in Sec.  
25.221(a)(8).

List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 25

Marlene H. Dortch,

    Accordingly, 47 CFR part 25 is corrected by making the following 
corrective amendments:

authority to cause an ESV on a U.S.-registered vessel to cease 
transmitting if necessary.
    (8) ESV operators transmitting in the 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-
space) frequency band to GSO satellites in the Fixed-Satellite Service
