Sec. 25.279 Inter-satellite service.
(a) Any satellite communicating with other space stations may use
frequencies in the inter-satellite service as indicated in Sec. 2.106 of this
chapter. This does not preclude the use of other frequencies for such
purposes as provided for in several service definitions, e.g., FSS. The
technical details of the proposed inter-satellite link shall be provided in
accordance with Sec. 25.114(c).
(b) Operating conditions. In order to ensure compatible operations with
authorized users in the frequency bands to be utilized for operations in the
inter-satellite service, these inter-satellite service systems must operate
in accordance with the conditions specified in this section.
(1) Coordination requirements with federal government users. (i) In
frequency bands allocated for use by the inter-satellite service that are
also authorized for use by agencies of the federal government, the federal
use of frequencies in the inter-satellite service frequency bands is under
the regulatory jurisdiction of the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA).
(ii) The Commission will use its existing procedures to reach agreement with
NTIA to achieve compatible operations between federal government users under
the jurisdiction of NTIA and inter-satellite service systems through
frequency assignment and coordination practice established by NTIA and the
Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC). In order to facilitate such
frequency assignment and coordination, applicants shall provide the
Commission with sufficient information to evaluate electromagnetic
compatibility with the federal government users of the spectrum, and any
additional information requested by the Commission. As part of the
coordination process, applicants shall show that they will not cause
interference to authorized federal government users, based upon existing
system information provided by the government. The frequency assignment and
coordination of the satellite system shall be completed prior to grant of
construction authorization.
(2) Coordination among inter-satellite service systems. Applicants for
authority to establish inter-satellite service are encouraged to coordinate
their proposed frequency usage with existing permittees and licensees in the
inter-satellite service whose facilities could be affected by the new
proposal in terms of frequency interference or restricted system capacity.
All affected applicants, permittees, and licensees, shall at the direction
of the Commission, cooperate fully and make every reasonable effort to
resolve technical problems and conflicts that may inhibit effective and
efficient use of the radio spectrum; however, the permittee or licensee
being coordinated with is not obligated to suggest changes or re-engineer an
applicant's proposal in cases involving conflicts.
