The FCC Enforcement Bureau adopted a consent decree with KSBJ Educational Foundation for the apparent unauthorized operation of a fixed earth station. Last year, the International Bureau dismissed KSBJ’s request for special temporary authority to operate an earth station because the request was defective, the Enforcement Bureau said in an order (http://bit.ly/1bT6PsE). The International Bureau later granted a second request but because it appeared that KSBJ, based in Humble, Texas, may have operated its earth station after the station license expired, “the International Bureau referred this matter to the Enforcement Bureau for investigation and possible enforcement action,” the order said. KSBJ agreed to make a voluntary contribution of $16,000 to the U.S. Treasury, the order said.
