Petition for Declaratory Ruling to be Added to the Permitted List
Grant of Authority                                                                                                   Effective Date:     12/20/2013



Nature of Service:       Fixed Satellite Service


On December 20, 2013, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the petition of Hispasat S.A. for a declaratory ruling to add the
Amazonas-1 space station at the 36° W.L. orbital location to the Commission's Permitted Space Station List in the 11.7-12.2 GHz
(space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands and to access the U.S.market via Amazonas-1 at 36° W.L. in the
13.75-14.0 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency band.


SAT-PPL-20131120-00137                 E S2873           Satelites Mexicanos S. A. de C. V.
Petition for Declaratory Ruling to be Added to the Permitted List
Grant of Authority                                                                                                   Effective Date:     12/24/2013



Nature of Service:       Fixed Satellite Service


On November 20, 2013, Satélites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V. notified the Commission, pursuant to Section 25.137(g) of the Commission's rules, of
a planned transfer of control. Satélites Mexicanos states that its control will be transferred to Eutelsat S.A. The notification of planned transfer
was placed on Public Notice on November 22, 2013. See Public Notice, Report No. SAT-00981. The Commission did not receive any
comments.
After review, the Satellite Division has determined that the planned transfer of control of Satélites Mexicanos will not affect any of the
considerations made when the Mexican-licensed Satmex 5 (S2589), Satmex 6 (S2695), and Satmex 8 (S2873) satellites were initially granted
U.S. market access. See Protocol Concerning the Transmission and Reception of Signals from Satellites for the Provision of Direct-to-Home
Satellite Services in the United States of America and the United Mexican States, November 8, 1996. Upon receipt of notice of consummation
of the transaction, the Permitted Space Station List will be updated to provide information concerning the transfer of control.
