(7) Appendix 30B FSS Plans: (a) Plan for guaranteed equitable access to GSO orbit + spectrum in FSS bands 6/4 GHz (C-band 5.725-7.025 GHz / 3.4-4.2 GHz) + 14/11 GHz (Ku-band 14.0-14.8 / 10.7-11.7 GHz); (b) one allotment per administration per band + per orbital arc; (c) developing countries can defer or activate; (d) modified at WRC-15 + WRC-19 + WRC-23 to accommodate emerging requirements. (8) BSS Plans Modifications per Articles 4 of Appendices 30 + 30A: (a) administrations may modify their assignments + add new assignments per Section II of the Articles; (b) Plan Modifications coordinated with affected administrations + Bureau examination; (c) recorded in Plans Modifications List + Plans. (9) Region 1 BSS Plan + Appendix 30 + 30A: covers BSS Direct-to-Home in C/Ku bands + including individual + community reception. (10) Region 2 BSS Plan (Americas): per ITU-R recommendation BR.1296 + per FCC rules + per CITEL/PCC.II/Brazil/Mexico/Canada coordination. (11) Region 3 BSS Plan: covers Asia-Pacific + including Japan + Korea + China + India + ASEAN + Australia + New Zealand BSS. (12) Service Plans Implementation Status: (a) BSS Region 1 mostly used (e.g. EUTELSAT 5 West A + Hot Bird 13B + Astra 19.2 East + others); (b) BSS Region 3 used (BSat-3a + EchoStar 105 + ChinaSat 6E + others); (c) FSS Appendix 30B - many developing country allotments unused; (d) BIU pressure as constellation operators seek spectrum. Coordinates with ITU Radiocommunication Bureau (BR) Space Services Department + RRB + Article 4 of Appendices 30/30A/30B + Articles 9 + 11 Coordination/Notification + Resolution 156 ESIM + Resolution 35 NGSO + ETSI EN standards + national licensing authorities (FCC + Ofcom + ACMA + ARCEP + MIIT + others) + ICAO + IMO + IATA. ITU Earth Stations + Service Plans apply.
