ATTACHMENT 1 Request For Special Temporary Authority Northwestern College (NWC") is..the licensee of a group of noncommercial religious AM and FM stations in the Midwest. NWC originates programming for these stations at its broadcast center located in Roseville, Minnesota. In order to deliver this programming to its stations, many years ago, NWC licensed a Ku band transmit earth station to operate at the broadcast center. This earth station was licensed under the call sign E020301, (expiration date: 12/04/2017). During a recent internal review, NWC discovered that on June 26, 2012, it had inadvertently surrendered its Radio Station Authorization for E020301. NWC had intended to cancel the authorization for a dismantled earth station facility, but instead mistakenly surrendered the E020301 authorization. E020301 has continued in operation since June 26, 2012, and remains an integral component of the NWC radio network. Having discovered its inadvertent error and recognizing; that its earth station facility requires a new authorization, NWC will prepare a new station Form 312 for filing as soon as possible. In the interim, NWC hereby requests Special Temporary Authority to operate'the earth station facilities formerly authorized under call sign E020301 (see Attachment 2). The STA will serve the public interest by allowing NWC to continué to provide its radio stations with programming that is essential to their broadcast services to the public. AM 21343917.1

Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at wwwfeo.gov/ost/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. 5215 ——— All operations shall be on a common carrier basis.
