approval to operate INTELSAT 602 at the 64.25° E.L. orbital location." By this further amendment, Intelsat seeks authorization to relocate INTELSAT 602 to 32.9° E.L. rather than to 64.25° E.L. Accordingly, Intelsat submits the following changes to its Modification Application: 1. The request for modification of the license for INTELSAT 602 on page 1— 2 of the application should read: "INTELSAT 602 ($2389), File Nos.

Intelsat requests modification of its license to relocate INTELSAT 602 from 62.0° E.L. to 32.9° E.L. rather than 33° E.L." (citations omitted) 2. Paragraph two of Section II "PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS" on page 5 should read: "In the Intelsat September 2001 Modification Order, the Commission authorized Intelsat to relocate INTELSAT 602 from its original licensed location of 62.0° E.L. to 33.0° E.L. in November 2001. On December 21, 2001, Intelsat filed an application to modify its license to permit operation of INTELSAT 602 at 64.0 E.L. On March 15, 2002, Intelsat filed an amendment to its pending application to modify its license, seeking flexibility to operate INTELSAT 602 at 64.25° E.L. rather than at 64.0° Information, Satellite Space Applications Acceptedfor Filing, Report No. SAT—00107, File No. SAT—AMD—20020315—00039 (April 5, 2002). mm 3 Intelsat currently operates INTELSAT 602 at the 64.25° E.L. orbital location pursuant to Special Temporary Authority. See Requestfor Special Temporary Authority _eaens Jor INTELSAT 602; Call Sign: $2389; File No. SAT—STA—20020315—00024 (stamp grant from Jennifer Gilsenan, FCC, to Jennifer Hindin, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, provided on Mar. 21, 2002; Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority for INTELSAT Jsaswd 602 To Operate at 64.25 E.L.; Call Sign: $2389; File No.: SAT—STA 20020517—00080 (stamp grant from Jennifer Gilsenan, FCC, to Jennifer Hindin, Wiley, Rein & Fielding LLP, provided on June 28, 2002). On July 16, 2002 and again on September 17, 2002, .Ee Intelsat filed requests for further extensions of the STA. Both extension requests remain pending. .aed

E.L. Intelsat now files a further amendment, seeking modification of its license to relocate INTELSAT 602 to 32.9° E.L." (citations omitted) In addition, attached is a revised Exhibit I and Attachment 1 containing technical information. The operation of INTELSAT 602 at 32.9°E.L will serve the public interest by allowing Intelsat to swap the locations of the INTELSAT 601 and INTELSAT 602 satellites in orderto provide an inclination—controlled satellite (INTELSAT 601) at the 64.25° E.L. location in response tfi customer demand. INTELSAT 602, which operates in an inclined orbit, will go to 32.9° E.L. to provide service at that location. In addition, this amendment does not increase the Potential for interference because the INTELSAT 601 and INTELSAT 602 satellites are technically identical. Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this amendment and its underlying Modification Application. Respectfully submitted, Patrick J. Cerra Vice President Bert W.
