FILED/ACCEPTED SEP 1 3 2007 Federal Communications Commissior! Office of the Secretary IC0 September 13, 2007 By Hand Delivery Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 lYh Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: File No. SAT-MOD- 20070806-001 10 Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s rules,’ New I C 0 Satellite Services G.P. (“ICO”) submits this filing to make the Commission aware of new information related to the above-referenced application. As I C 0 explained in its application, KO’s launch provider, Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services (“LMCLS”), postponed ICO’s launch for approximately six weeks because LMCLS’ subcontractor, United Launch Alliance, LLC (“ULA”), revised its launch manifest due to a minor Atlas launch anomaly investigation and attendant resolution, coupled with unforeseen spacecraft processing issues that caused delays to the Atlas launches earlier in 2007. Since I C 0 filed its application, ULA and LMCLS have continued the anomaly investigation and the launch date of the next scheduled satellite, the Wide Band Gap Filler Satellite (“WGS”), has not been firmly established. Once the WGS launch date is established and the remaining Atlas manifest is adjusted accordingly, it may require I C 0 G1 to launch slightly later (by a matter of weeks) than January 15,2008, the milestone date currently sought in the application. I C 0 expects to have additional information about its own launch schedule fi-om LMCLS after the WGS launch, and that it will be in a position to make any necessary amendment to its requested launch milestone at that time. 815 Connecticut Avenue, NW ’ 47 C.F.R. Ej 1.65. Suite 610 Washington, DC 20006 2023304005 phone 202 330 4008 fax web: www.ico.com

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch September 13, 2007 Page Two In light of this additional information, IC0 requests that the Commission extend the initial comment date for the application until October 15, 2007. I C 0 will provide the Commission with a further update on this matter as soon as more specific information is made available to I C 0 by LMCLS. Senior V.P., Regulatory Affairs
