Expedited Action Requested

                                         AMENDMENT

               SES Americom, Inc. (“SES Americom,” doing business as “SES”), hereby

amends its above-captioned request for authority to operate the in-orbit SES-3 satellite in the

conventional C- and Ku-band frequencies at 103° W.L. (the “SES-3 Application”) in order to

correct a table provided in the Technical Appendix.

               Specifically, the table that was submitted in Section 2.3 of the Technical

Appendix for the SES-3 Application, which provided the expressions for the spacecraft’s

saturation flux density values, contained inadvertent errors. SES hereby replaces that table with

the following corrected table:

C-band:             SFD = -94 – (G/T) + Transponder Gain Setting                  dBW/m2
Ku-band:            SFD = -96 – (G/T) + Transponder Gain Setting                  dBW/m2
17/24 GHz band:     SFD = -107 – (G/T) + Transponder Gain Setting                 dBW/m2

               SES also takes this opportunity to provide an updated Exhibit B, which provides a

list of stockholders, officers and directors for SES. With the exception of the amended table and

updated Exhibit B, all other information submitted with the SES-3 Application is unchanged.


               SES requests expedited Commission action on the SES-3 Application as amended

in order to facilitate service continuity at the 103° W.L. orbital location.

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                               SES AMERICOM, INC.
