In addition, this category includes Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service which includes space stations authorized under part 100 of the Commission's rules to transmit or re-transmit signals for direct reception by the general public encompassing both individual and community reception. For FY 1998, entities authorized to operate geostationary space stations (including DBS satellites) will be assessed an annual regulatory fee of $97,975 per operational station in orbit. Payment is required for any geostationary satellite that has been launched and tested and is authorized to provide service. c. Space Stations (Non-Geostationary) 37. Non-geostationary Orbit (NGSO) Systems (such as Low Earth Orbit Satellite Systems) are space stations that orbit the earth in non-geostationary orbit. They are authorized under part 25 of the Commission's rules to provide communications between satellites and earth stations on a common carrier and/or private carrier basis. For FY 1998, entities authorized to operate NGSOs will be assessed an annual regulatory fee of $164,800 per operational system in orbit. Payment is required for any NGSO System that has one or more satellites operational. In our FY 1997 Report and Order at lJI 75 we retained our requirement that licensees of LEOs pay the LEO regulatory fee upon certification of operation of a single satellite pursuant to section 25. 120(d) - subsequently renumbered as section 25.121(d). We require payment of this fee following commencement of operations of a system's first satellite to insure that we recover our regulatory costs related to LEO systems from licensees of these systems as early as possible so that other regulatees are not burdened with these costs any longer than necessary.
