§ 25.279 Inter-satellite service.
(a) Any satellite communicating with other space stations may use
frequencies in the inter-satellite service as indicated in § 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 § 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.
