 On September 25, 2014, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the application of Intelsat License LLC, as amended, to modify its
 authorization for the Intelsat 702 space station. Specifically, Intelsat was authorized to operate Intelsat 702 in inclined orbit at the 32.9° E.L.
 orbital location to provide fixed-satellite service in the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space), 10.95-11.2 GHz
 (space-to-Earth), 11.45-11.70 GHz (space-to-Earth), 12.5-12.75 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands.
 Intelsat was also authorized to perform telemetry, tracking, and command operations necessary to maintain Intelsat 702 at the 32.9° E.L. orbital
 location using the following center frequencies: 3947.5 MHz, 3948.0 MHz, 3952.5 MHz and 3952.0 MHz (space-to-Earth); and 6173.7 MHz
 and 6176.3 MHz (Earth-to-space).

 On September 23, 2014, the Satellite Division granted the application of SES Americom, Inc. to modify its authorization for the AMC-4 space
 station by extending the license term from December 22, 2014, to December 22, 2018. During this period, SES is authorized to continue to
 operate AMC-4 at the 67.0° W.L. orbital location to provide fixed-satellite service in the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz
 (Earth-to-space), 12.25-12.75 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 14.0-14.5 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands.

 Grant of Authority                                                                                                    Effective Date:     09/26/2014



 Nature of Service:       Direct to Home Fixed Satellite, Fixed Satellite Service


 On July 17, 2014, Hispasat, S.A. notified the Commission of a change in ownership of satellites on the Permitted Space Station List. As
 described in the filing, Abertis Telecom Satélites, S.A.U. increased its ownership in Hispasat, S.A. from 40.6% to 57.05%. On August 22, 2014,
 pursuant to Section 25.137(g) of the Commission's rules, the Satellite Division sought comment on whether the transaction affects any of the
 considerations made when the HISPASAT-1D (S2476), AMAZONAS-2 (S2793), and AMAZONAS-3 (S2886) satellites were granted U.S.
 market access. See Public Notice, Report No. SAT-01037. No comments were filed. After review, the Satellite Division has determined that the
 transfer of control of Hispasat, S.A. does not affect any of the considerations made when the satellites were granted U.S. market access.
