FCC IBFS SES - HSC

To Whom It May Concern:

In its frequency waiver requests for certain Satellite Earth Station (SES) license application filings*, applicant Harte Satellite Consultants states that "Grant of this waiver is in the public interest. This earth station will be part of a test and training network allowing U.S. government customers to acquaint themselves with the service in the United States prior to using the service elsewhere in the world. Grant of this waiver request is in the public interest as it allows for utilization of available satellite capacity to provide U.S. government customers with service for critical testing and training exercises."

*said SES license applications having the file numbers SES-LIC-20220125-00083, SES-LIC-20220125-00084, SES-LIC-20220125-00085, SES-LIC-20220125-00086, SES-LIC-20220125-00087, SES-LIC-20220125-00088, SES-LIC-20220125-00089, and SES-LIC-20220125-00090.

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any supporting documents, records, or communications between the applicant and the FCC pertaining to the above statement made by applicant or otherwise supporting applicant's claim(s) of public interest.

If the FCC is in possession of additional records which are relevant to or otherwise pertain to a supposed business relationship between Harte Satellite Consultants and "U.S. government customers", please consider those responsive to this request.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Landon Edwards

Good morning Ms. Malette,

Hope you're doing well.

It has been around 7 months since I submitted this request (#FCC-2023-000373) with only one response from the FCC. I sent messages in FOIAOnline on 03/14/23, 03/22/23, 06/28/23, and 09/11/23, with no response.

Now, due to the shutdown of FOIAOnline, I am not sure what the status of this request is and whether it has "fallen through the cracks" or was closed by mistake. Could you please update me on the status of the request?

I appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Thank you,
Landon Edwards
