Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”), pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC” or “Commission”) rules,1 hereby supplements its pending application to launch and operate a replacement satellite, to be known as Intelsat 27, at the 304.5º E.L. orbital location.2 That pending application noted that the Intelsat 27 satellite will carry a UHF payload that will operate in non-commercial frequencies.3 In an amendment filed on November 11, 2011, Intelsat notified the FCC that Intelsat was no longer seeking U.S. authority to operate the UHF payload on Intelsat 27 and that it planned to seek such authority from another Administration.4 1 47 C.F.R. § 1.65. 2 See Policy Branch Information; Satellite Applications Accepted for Filing, Report No. SAT-00841, File Nos. SAT-LOA-20110610-00105 and SAT-AMD-20111111-00215 (Feb. 3, 2012) (Public Notice). 3 The Intelsat 27 UHF payload includes the 243.52-268.16 MHz and 292.835-317.33 MHz frequencies. 4 See supra n.2.

By this supplement, Intelsat further notifies the Commission that Italy will be the licensing Administration for the Intelsat 27 UHF payload. Intelsat has been informed that the Italian Administration has filed the Advance Publication Information with the International Telecommunication Union for the Intelsat 27 UHF payload. Intelsat expects that the Italian Administration shortly will communicate to the FCC the Italian Administration’s understanding regarding the dual-licensing status of Intelsat 27. Intelsat and Italy will ensure that transmissions to/from the Intelsat 27 UHF payload are fully coordinated with the U.S.’s higher priority filing. Intelsat further informs the Commission that the launch of Intelsat 27 currently is scheduled to occur as early as January 15, 2013. Accordingly, Intelsat respectfully requests expeditious treatment of the pending application. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Susan H. Crandall Susan H.
