September 25, 2014 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Supplement to Application of Intelsat License LLC to Modify Authorization for Intelsat 5 Call Sign S2704; File No. SAT-MOD-20140829-00097 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein supplements its above referenced Application of Intelsat License LLC to Modify Authorization for Intelsat 5 (call sign S2704). Specifically, Intelsat clarifies that Intelsat 5 digital carriers operating in the 5925 – 6425 MHz and 14000 – 14250 MHz bands will be limited to a power density of -45 dBW/Hz. Within the 3700 – 4200 MHz band the downlink EIRP density of the Intelsat 5 digital carriers will be limited to -32 dBW/Hz; and within the 11450 – 11700 MHz band the downlink EIRP density of the Intelsat 5 digital carriers will be limited to -20 dBW/Hz. With respect to adjacent U.S.-licensed satellites, Intelsat 5 transmissions will be limited to those levels contained in Sections 25.212(c) and (d), unless higher levels are coordinated with operators of adjacent U.S.-licensed satellites. Although Intelsat has completed all the required coordination in these bands and the relevant filings have been notified in the ITU Master Register, Intelsat will continue to coordinate in good faith with others requesting coordination of their junior ITU filings. In addition, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission modify the ex parte status of the above- referenced application from “restricted” to “permit-but-disclose.” 1 ABS Global, Ltd. (“ABS”) has filed comments expressing concern about Intelsat’s pending request to operate the Intelsat 5 satellite at 157.0° E.L. The public interest would clearly be served by changing the ex parte status of this application to permit-but-disclose, which will allow for discussions with the Commission staff regarding the rights a U.S.-licensed satellite operator has with respect to a non-U.S.-licensed satellite with lower ITU priority. Permit-but-disclose status would facilitate the exchange of information and ensure any staff questions are answered promptly and completely. 1 Section 1.1200(a) of the Commission’s rules provides that “[w]here the public interest so requires in a particular proceeding, the Commission and its staff retain the discretion to modify the applicable ex parte rules by order, letter or public notice.” 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch September 25, 2014 Page 2 For the reasons set forth above and in the original modification application, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously modify the ex parte status of this proceeding and grant the modification application. Sincerely, (CALC2.om Susan H. Crandall Associate General Counsel Intelsat Corporation ce: Stephen Duall Jay Whaley Cindy Spears
