Co m Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 United States of America Re: Relovution of the NSS—7 Sqtellte 10 22 °W L. Dear Mr. Abelson: On May 28, 2002, the Chuef of the Internauonal Bureau‘s Satellite Division released an Order in the above referenced proceedings placing NSS—7, a satellite launched and operated by New Skies Satellites N.V. ("New Skies"), on the Permitted Space Station List (the "Permitted List") at the 21.5° WL. (338.5° E.L.) orbital location.‘ As the Radiocommumcauons Agency of the Netherlands recently informed the Commisaion, pursuant to the coordination agreement between New Skies and Intelsat that has been approved by the U.S. and Netherlands governments, the NSS—7 satellite will be relocated from 21.5° W.L. (338.3° E.L.) to the 22° W.L. (338° E.L.) orbital location. The relocation process will commence on or about November 1, 2002 und be completed within 75 days. This relocanon has been fully coordinated with all relevant U.S5.—licenased systems — and in fact improves the sharing environment by achieving two degree spacing from the nearest {ntelsa; satellite — and entails a movement of only 0 5° of longitude. Accordingly, New Skies requests that the Commission revise NSS—7‘s entry on the Permitted List to reflect the satellite‘s new locauon. With such a revision, each earth stanon with "ALSAT" designated as a point of communication will contunue to have authority to provide Fixed—Satellite Services ("FSS"), excluding FSS Direct—to—Home services to, from, or within the Unuted States, by accessing the NSS—7 satellite at the 22° wWL. orbital location in the 3700—4200/3925—6425 MHz and the 11.7—12.2/14.0—14.3 GHz frequency bands. In addition, we request that such earth stauons be authorized to provide FSS services by accessing the NSS—7 satellite during the penod of is migration from 21.5° W.L to 22° W.L.
