                   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING AUTHORIZATION

           Kepler Communications Inc. (Kepler) hereby responds to the Commission’s request for
information. This response is in respect to Kepler’s application for market access for a non-geostationary
satellite orbit (NGSO) fixed-satellite service (FSS) system. Kepler was previously requested to provide
additional information with regards to the review of its orbital debris mitigation plan by Industry, Science
& Economic Development Canada, the licensing authority (ISED).1 At the time of the request, ISED had a
moratorium in place.2 This was discussed in Kepler’s previous response to the Commission.3


           In response to the Commission’s request4, Kepler is hereby submitting a copy of the authorization
issued by ISED. Should there be any outstanding requirements, please do not hesitate to contact me.
