Tik FoREGOING NOTICE s REQUIRED By THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995, PUBLIC LAW 104—13, OCTOBER
1, 1995 44 U.S.C. SECTION 3s07.


       REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
        PanAmSat Licensee Corp.(‘PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25:120 of the
Commission‘s rules, hereby requests a 160—day extension, through February 9, 2005, of
its special temporary authority ("STA") for Galaxy 9 to operate the tracking, telemetry,
and command (‘TT&C") payload on Galaxy 9 at 90.9° W.L. Absent an extension,
PanAmSat‘s STA will expire on August 13, 2004.
       On January 15, 2004, the Commission grant stamped, subject to conditions,
PanAmSat‘s request for an STA to relocate Galaxy 9 from 127.1° W.L. to 90.° W.L. and
to operate the TT&C payload during the relocation and when the spacecraft arrived on
station at 90.9° W.L2 Galaxy 9 has arrived at 90.9° W.L. and now serves as an in—orbit
spare providing back up to PanAmSat‘s fleet in this portion of the orbital arc. As stated
in PanAmSat‘s initial STA request, PanAmSat is positioning Galaxy 9 at 90.9° W.L.,
rather than 91.0° W.L.,in order to maintain a safe separation from, and faclitate
coordinated stationkeeping with, PanAmSat‘s Galaxy 11 at 91.0° W.L
       PanAmSat‘s extension request is supported by good cause, because extending the STA
will enable PanAmSatto continue to provide back up protection for its feet. Granting the
authority requested, moreover,is in keeping with the Commission‘s policy to allow "satellte
operators to rearrange satellites in their fleet to reflect business and customer considerations
where no other public interest factors are adversely affected."
       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, PanAmSat respectfully requests thatits STA be
extended through February 9, 2005. Questions with respect to this matter should be directed
to Joseph A. Godles, PanAmSat‘s counsel,at 202—120—4900.
