(°GE Americom Satellites"), licensee of the GSTAR II communications satellite, respectfully requests special temporary authority to continue operations on its GSTAR II satellite. Grant of this request wi]l:,a]low continued service to customers and promote efficient use of orbital resources. GSTAR II was placed into service in March 1986 and is operating at* the 125° W.L. orbital location, with a ten—year license term that expired March 1996. On September.29, 1995, the Commission granted GE Americom Satellites authority. to operate GSTAR II in an inclined orbit mode, stating that such authority would extend GSTAR II‘s operating life and provide an bpportunity for the public to continue receiving services from the satellite. 1/ GE Americom Satellites now requests authority to continue operation of GSTAR II beyond the 1/ GE American Communications, Inc., 10 FCC Red 11021 (1995). \\\DC — 8076471 — 08307856.01

expiration of its license term for the maximum statutory period, through September 30, 1996..2/ GSTAR II continues to be capable of providing reliable and affordable services to customers, including television networks, news gatherers and others. Granting special temporary authority for the licensee to operate GSTAR II for six months beyond its license term would serve the public interest because it would allow the licensee to continue serving existing customers. A 2/ GE Americom Satellites acknowledges that a request for special temporary authority to continue to operate GSTAR II should have been filed prior to the —expiration of its license term. However, the GE Americom Satellites staff member with primary responsibility for addressing such matters left the company late last year, and as a result, need for any request for authority to extend operations ‘beyond .March 1996 was overlooked. GE Americom Satellites has taken prompt steps to discuss this matter with the Commission staff and file the instant request since it became aware of this situation. \\\DC — 8076471 — 0807356.01
