Dortch, Secretary OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: PanAmSat Corporation Withdrawal of " B S S Application File No. SAT-LOA-19950929-00130 (S2191) - 67" W.L.1 Dear Ms. Dortch: On January 26,2004, PanAmSat Corporation ("PanAmSat") filed a letter withdrawing several applications to launch and operate geostationary satellite orbit ("GSO") space stations operating on broadcast satellite service ("BSS) frequencies, including the above-referenced application for a GSO BSS satellite at 67" W.L.2 PanAmSat's application originally also had included a request to launch and operate a Ka-band payload at 67" W.L. That portion of the application, however, was amended to specify 103" W.L. instead of 67" W.L. The Commission granted PanAmSat's request for Ka-band authority at 103" W.L.,3 and PanAmSat subsequently assigned its Ka-band license for 103" W.L. to Hughes Network Systems, Inc. ("HNS).4 It is PanAmSat's understanding that the call sign "S2191" has been associated with its BSS application for 67" W.L. The same call sign, however, apparently also has been associated with the Ka-band authorization for 103" W.L. that PanAmSat assigned to HNS. PanAmSat hereby clarifies that, with respect to S2191, PanAmSat's January 26 1 See original File No. 18O-SAT-P/LA-95. 2 Three years ago, the Commission changed the file number identified in the preceding footnote to the above-referenced file numbers. See Report No. SPB-162 (Jan. 31,2001). 3 See Memorandtirn Opinion and Order, DA 01-949 (Apr. 17,2001). 4 See File No. SAT-ASG-20030310-00022.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary March 30,2004 Page 2 letter only dismissed the BSS application for 67" W.L., and took no action with respect to the Ka-band license for 103" W.L. that had been assigned to HNS. Please direct any questions concerning this letter to the undersigned. Cc: Jacki Ponti
