   an authorized station;

   (2) For temporary authorization pursuant to §  25.120.

   and 10.95-11.7 GHz bands by no more than 1'' in latitude and/or
   longitude and for change in location of an earth station operating in
   the 12/14 GHz bands by no more than 10'' in latitude and/or longitude.

   (d) Except as specified in paragraph (e) of this section, no
   application that has appeared on public notice will be granted until
   the expiration of a period of thirty days following the issuance of the
   public notice listing the application, or any major amendment thereto.
   Any comments or petitions must be delivered to the Commission by that
   date in accordance with §  25.154.

   (e)(1) Applicants seeking authority to operate a temporary fixed earth
   station pursuant to §  25.277 may consider their applications
   "provisionally granted," and may initiate operations upon the placement
   of the complete FCC Form 312 application on public notice, provided
   that

   (i) The temporary fixed earth station will operate only in the
   conventional Ku-band (14.0-14.5 GHz and 11.7-12.2 GHz bands);

   (ii) The temporary fixed earth station's operations will be consistent
   with all routine-licensing requirements for the conventional Ku-band;
   and

   (iii) The temporary fixed earth station's operations will be limited to
   satellites on the Permitted Space Station List.

   (2) Applications for authority granted pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of
   this section shall be placed on public notice pursuant to paragraph
   (a)(1) of this section. If no comments or petitions are filed within 30
   days of the public notice date, the authority granted will be
   considered a regular temporary fixed earth station authorization as of
   30 days after the public notice date. If a comment or petition is filed
   within 30 days of the public notice date, the applicant must suspend
   operations immediately pending resolution of the issues raised in that
   comment or petition.
