Application to Relocate AMC-1 File No. SAT-MOD-20170810-00115 (Call Sign S2445) Dear Ms. Dortch: SES Americom, Inc. (“SES”), by its attorney and pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s rules, hereby updates the record regarding the above-referenced application seeking reassignment of the U.S.-licensed C/Ku-band hybrid AMC-1 satellite to 130.9° W.L. (the “AMC-1 Modification”). SES advises the Commission that the AMC-1 C-band payload will operate under the following International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) satellite network filings submitted by the U.S.: • USASAT-22H • USASAT-35A SES also advises the Commission that the AMC-1 Ku-band payload will operate under the following satellite network filing, which has been submitted for coordination to the ITU by the Netherlands: • NSS-G4-6 SES requests that the United States confirm its non-objection to bringing into use the above- referenced Netherlands filing with AMC-1, in accordance with ITU Circular Letter CR/333 (May 2, 2012). SES is not aware of any satellites operating under U.S. ITU filings within six degrees of 130.9° W.L. As SES certified in the AMC-1 Modification, SES will not exceed the applicable default two-degree spacing uplink and downlink EIRP density levels specified in Commission rules unless such exceedance is coordinated with operators of authorized co-frequency space stations at assigned locations within six degrees of 130.9° W.L., except as provided in Section 25.140(d).
