SAT-AMD-19990222-00024 CS91004 PANAMSAT LICENSEE CORP. Amendment PanAmSat Licensee Corporation has filed an amendment to its pending application for modification of the PAS-5 satellite at 194 degrees W.L. (See File No. SAT-MOD-19980928-00078.) The PAS-5 satellite was launched in November 1998. During in-orbit testing, discrepancies were discovered and this amendment changes two of the satellites beams to correct these discrepancies. The changes eliminate the coverage of the United States that are subject to PanAmSat's non-conforming use request and, therefore, PanAmSat withdraws that request as it relates to these two beams, limiting the request to the one remaining 12.25-12.7 GHz beam covering the United States.
