SES Americom, Inc. (‘SES Americom") hereby respectfully requests special temporary authority for a period of thirty days to: (1) continue operating the AMC—16 Ka—band payload and Ku—band TT&C at 96.925° W.L. from June 7, 2005 to June 17, 2005 and (2) subsequently drift AMC—16 from 96.925° W.L. to 85° W.L., the satellite‘s assigned orbit location. Grant of the instant request will serve the public interest. AMC—16 is a Ku/Ka—band satellite that was launched on December 17, 2004, and is licensed to operate at the 85° W.L. orbital position.‘ On April 8, 2005, the Satellite Division granted SES Americom special temporary authority to relocate AMC—16 to 96.925° W.L. and operate the spacecraft‘s Ka—band payload and 1 See Pile Nos. SAT—MOD—20040227—00022 & SAT—RPL—20040227—00024 (granted Sept. 2, 2004).

Ku—band TT&C at that location, maintaining an East/West stationkeeping tolerance of 0.025 degrees.* The current STA expires on June 7, 2005. SES Americom now seeks a brief extension of its authority to operate at 96.925" W.L. until June 17, 2005. SBS Americom then proposes to drift AMC—16 from 96.925° W.L. to 85° W.L. The brief extension will permit SES Americom to complete a full sixty days of operation at 96.925° W.L. prior to returning AMC—16 to its regularly—authorized orbital location. SES Americom hereby certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 862. SES Americom waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or of the electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests an authorization in accordance with this application. t See File No. SAT—STA—20050111—00009 (granted Apr. 8, 2005). 2

For the foregoing reasons, SES Americom seeks special temporary authority for a period of thirty days to permit: (1) extension of authority to operate AMC—16‘s Ka—band payload and Ku—band TT&C at 96.925° W.L. for the period from June 7, 2005 to June 17, 2005; and (2) relocation of AMC—16 from 96.925° W.L. to 85° W.L.
