Dortch Secretary 7'325JONES BRANCH DRIVE Federal Communications Commission SUITE 6200 MCLEAN, VA 22102 236 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E., Suite 110 PHONE 703.9052800 Washington, DC 20002 FAX 703.905.2820 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority for INTELSAT 603 www.wrf.com Call Sign: S2399 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)’ for 30 days to begin drifting INTELSAT 603 from its current location of 24.5” W.L. to 20.0” W.L. and to allow the satellite to remain at 20.0” W.L.-in a non-operational capacity-until such time as Intelsat has received Commission approval to operate the satellite at that location.’ Recently, INTELSAT 603 was replaced at 24.5” W.L. by iNTELSAT 905 e3 Intelsat had earlier filed an application to modify the license of INTELSAT 603 to permit its deployment at 178.0” E.L.4 Prior to grant of that application, Intelsat decided to move the satellite to 20.0“ W.L. in order to meet customer demand at that location. Intelsat is filing, concurrently with this STA request, an application to modify the license of INTELSAT 603 to permit its deployment at 20.0” W.L. I Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and a $670.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System. 2 Intelsat 605 was originally licensed to be redeployed to 20.0” W.L. in January 2002. On February 6,2002, Intelsat notified the Commission that INTELSAT 605 would remain at 27.5” W.L. until replaced by INTELSAT 906. See Letter to Ms. Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, from Jennifer D. Hindin, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP (filed Feb. 6, 2002). 3 See Letter to Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, from Patricia J. Paoletta, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP (filed July 24,2002) (certifying that INTELSAT 905 became fully operational at 24.5 W.L. as of July l&2002). 4 See Application of Inteisat LLC to Modtfy Authorization (filed Apr. 18, 2002). The modification application was placed on Public Notice on April 24,2002 and no comments were filed. See Satellite Policy Branch Information, Applications Acceptedfor Filing, Report No. SAT-00109, File No. SAT-MOD-20020418-00063 (Apr. 24,2002) (Public Notice).

Ms. Marlene I-I. Dortch, Secretary July 3 1,2002 Page 2 0 0 Currently, INTELSAT 905 and INTELSAT 603 are co-located at 24.5” W.L. Allowing INTELSAT 603 to drift to 20.0” W.L. will serve the public interest by allowing Intelsat to move the satellite away from INTELSAT 905 and thereby allow (I for the safe station keeping of both satellites. During the drift of INTELSAT 603 from 24.5” W.L. to 20.0” W.L., Intelsat will utilize only the satellite’s tracking, telemetry, command and monitoring (“TTCXM”) frequencies and no 4 communications services will be transmitted. Similarly, Intelsat will not transmit communications services from the satellite at 20.0” W.L. until such time as the FCC has granted Intelsat’s application to modify the INTELSAT 603 license to operate at that location. Pending such grant, Intelsat will utilize only the satellite’s TTC&M frequencies at the 20.0” W.L. location. j For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission i expeditiously grant this request. Sincerely, \ Counsel for Intelsat LLC cc: Tom Tycz John Martin Jennifer Gilsenan Jabin Vahora Scott Kotler
