Abstract
In this document, the Commission addresses petitions for reconsideration of the Second Memorandum Opinion and Order and Fifth Report and Order in this proceeding. The reconsideration petitions pertain to the Commission's decisions regarding the licensing approach for spectrum allotted to Automated Maritime Telecommunications System (AMTS) stations, including application processing issues and the incumbent co-channel interference protection standard. Based on the record now presented to the Commission, it believes that reconsideration of the AMTS incumbent co-channel interference protection standard is warranted. Therefore, in the Third Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Commission adopts a larger interference contour, which will better preserve AMTS incumbent systems' current operating parameters and afford licensees with an opportunity to construct fill- in stations.
