DELIVERY JUN 1 2 2000 Ms. Magalie Roman Salas Satellite Policy Branch Secretary International Bursau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Supplement to Telesat Canada‘s Petition for Declaratory Ruling For Inclusion of Anik F1 on the Permitted Space Station List File No. SAT—PDR—20000420—00083 Dear Ms. Salas: On April 20, 2000, Telesat Canada ("Telesat"), filed a petition for declaratory ruling for inclusion of Anik F1 on the Permitted Space Station List ("Petition").‘ This letter provides updated information regarding the completion of Canada and Mexico coordination, pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission‘s Rules to maintain the accuracy and completeness of its pending Petition." ‘ Telesat Canada Petition for Declaratory Ruling For Inclusion ofAnik F1 on the Permitted Space Station List, File No. 20000420—00083 (filed April 20, 2000); Public Notice, "Satellite Policy Branch Information Applications Accepted for Filing," Report No. SAT—00043 (May 24, 2000) (accepting for filing Telesat‘s Petition for Declaratory Ruling). * 47 C.F.R. § 1.65.

Ms. Magalie Roman Salas June 7, 2000 Page 2 In its Petition, Telesat respectfully requested the Commission to include Anik F1 at 107.3° W.L. on the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List ("List") pursuant to the DISCO II Reconsideration Order subject to completion of Canada and Mexico coordination. Telesat noted in its Petition that it would accept deferred inclusion on the List conditioned on completion of the international coordination process with Mexico.* On May 29, 2000, the Canada—Mexico coordination was completed.° On May 31, 2000, a "Non Confidential Notice" was signed to confirm that Mexican and Canadian satellite operators reached a satellite coordination agreement covering Mexican and Canadian Canada/Mexico/USA C—Band and Ku—Band Trilateral Arrangement. See Exhibit A. The completion of coordination with Mexico removes the last condition precedent for the inclusion of the Anik F1 on the List. As fully detailed in the Petition and attached FCC Form 312, Anik F1 satisfies all of the requirements of Sections 25.113 and 25.137 of the Commission‘s Rules and raises no other public interest concerns. The inclusion of Anik F1 on the List would serve the public interest because access to AnikF1 by all U.S. earth stations with an ALSAT designation would give U.S. consumers increased choices in fixed satellite services. The increased service options would stimulate lower rates, improve service quality and foster technological innovations. With the completion of coordination with Mexico, there are no outstanding technical issues that could preclude the inclusion of Anik F1 on the List. Grant of Telesat‘s Petition and application as soon as possible would most serve the public interest. 3 Non—U.S. Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, 1999 FCC LEXIS 5448 (rel.
