   earth stations;

   (3)  The  receipt  of  applications for major modifications to station
   authorizations;

   (7) Information which the Commission in its discretion believes to be of
   public significance; and

   (8) Special environmental considerations as required by part 1 of this
   chapter.

   (b) Special public notices may also be issued at other times under special
   circumstances involving non-routine matters where speed is of the essence
   and efficiency of Commission process will be served thereby.

   (c) A public notice will not normally be issued for receipt of any of the
   following applications:

   (1) For authorization of a minor technical change in the facilities of an
   authorized station;

   (2) For temporary authorization pursuant to § 25.120.

   (3) For an authorization under any of the proviso clauses of section 308(a)
   of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended [47 U.S.C. 308(a)];

   (4) For consent to an involuntary assignment or transfer of control of a
   transmitting earth station authorization; or

   (5) For consent to an assignment or transfer of control of a space station
   authorization or a transmitting earth station authorization, where the
   assignment or transfer does not involve a substantial change in ownership or
   control; or

   (6) For change in location of an earth station operating in the 4/6 GHz 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.
