Ad hoc Group of Council
on Cost Recovery for Satellite Network Filings
Council-05
Follow-up
Council-05 has endorsed a
modification to Decision 482 and has decided on corrective measures for
invoices issued in 2004-2005, as summarized below:
- Decision
482 (modified
2005) - Implementation of cost recovery for satellite network filings
- Decision
531 -
Additional corrective measures relating to cost recovery on satellite network
filings for those networks subject to Decision 513
- Decision
532 - Satellite
network filing cost recovery: categories 7 and 8
- Decision
533 -
Corrective measures related to cost recovery on GSO satellite network filings
operating in the band 11.7-12.2 GHz for which No. 9.14 is directly cited in the
Radio Regulations
- Decision
534 – Cost
recovery for satellite network filings - Part B submissions involving the
application of Article 4 of Appendices 30/30A where the associated part A was
received prior to 8 November 1998.
The modified Decision 482,
which will enter into force on 1 January 2006, is based on a new cost recovery
methodology, contains new cost recovery fees and is extended in scope to cover
notification of assignments in non-planned and planned services, as well as
Sections IA and III of Article 6 of Appendix 30B. While corrective
measures for invoices issued in 2004-2005 could be implemented in the current
biennium, those issued in 2002-2003 would be referred to PP-06 as the accounts
for this period were closed.
Council-05 also agreed to
disband the Council Ad hoc group on cost recovery for SNF chaired by D. Barrett
(UK).
Previous Terms
of Reference of the Council Working Group
Decision
510 of the ITU Council established an ad hoc Group to consider specified
issues relating to cost recovery for satellite network filings with the
following terms of reference:
1.
In relation to Document C02/29, pursuant to Decision 482 Modified
(C02) relating to the cost recovery methodology for satellite network filings,
the Group will continue to consider the alternative basis for charging that does
not depend on numbers of pages.
2.
In relation to Document C02/40, the Group will determine the factors to
be considered for the evaluation, as well as the practical implications of
applying cost attribution to activities associated with the processing of
satellite network filings towards the application of full cost recovery.
Revised
terms of reference (PP-02 Res 88(Rev)).
The Plenipotentiary
Conference (Marrakesh, 2002) ...
