TYCZ* SENIOR POLICY ADVISOR *NOT AN ATTORNEY February 22, 2011 FILED ELECTRONICALLY Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Telesat Brasil Capacidade de Satelites Ltda. (“Telesat Brasil”) Petition for Declaratory Ruling (“PDR”) SAT-PPL-20110112-00012 Dear Ms. Dortch: In the above-referenced filing, Telesat Brasil seeks a declaratory ruling adding its Estrela do Sul 2 satellite, which has been licensed by Brazil, to the Permitted Space Station List. Telesat Brasil, by its undersigned counsel, hereby clarifies the following elements of its filing: The PDR is limited to conventional Ku-band band frequencies. Telesat is not seeking authority in the PDR to operate on any other frequencies.1 Estrela do Sul 2 is a replacement for Estrela do Sul 1, which will be boosted to a disposal orbit once it has been replaced. Telesat Brasil is not seeking authority in the PDR to make use of analog TV/FM carriers in the United States. Such carriers have been identified in Schedule S solely for informational purposes, based on their possible use outside the United States. 1 As stated in the PDR (at n. 4), however, a sister company of Telesat Brasil will be filing one or more earth station applications seeking authority to communicate with Estrela do Sul 2 using extended Ku-band frequencies on the satellite in the 13.8-14 GHz band. The Commission already has authorized communication with Estrela do Sul 1using these same extended Ku-band frequencies. See FCC File No. SES−MFS−20070502−00542.

Marlene H. Dortch February 22, 2011 Page 2 Please direct any questions regarding this filing to the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, Joseph A. Godles Counsel for Telesat Brasil cc: Stephen Duall Kathyrn Medley
