Re:       Request for Extension of Special TemporaryAuthority to Continue

Déér Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the
rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission"),‘
herein requests a 30—day extension — through November 4, 2009 — of the
Special Temporary Authority ("STA") previously granted Intelsat to continue
operating the Intelsat 706 satellite‘s payload (Call Sign $2401) at its current
location of 54.85° E.L." Intelsat 706 will continue to operateat that location in
accordance with the ITU filings of the Indian Administration.*

Grant of this STA extension request is in the public interest because it will
ensure continuity of service to Intelsat‘s customers in the Indian Ocean



47 CFR. § 25.120.

2 Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $830.00 filing fee and
this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s
                                                                  F111ng

operate the satellite‘s TT&C carriers beyond September 5, 2009. See Stamp
Grant, condition #20.

* Intelsat‘s agreement with the Indian Administration has been extended
through December 5, 2009. Intelsat has filed an STA request to operate
Intelsat 706 at 54.85° E.L. through December 5, 2009. See Policy Branch
Information; Satellite Space Applications Acceptedfor Filing, Report No.
SAT—00635, File No. SAT—STA—20090923—00099 (Sept. 25, 2009) (Public

Intelsat‘s existing STA, Intelsat files this 30—day extension request.

 Region. Duringthis temporary period, Intelsat agrees to comply with the _
 existing conditions of its authorization to operate Intelsat 706 at 54.85° EL.
 Moreover, grant of this temporary request will not result in increased risk of
 harmful interference because Intelsat 706‘s operations at 54.85° E.L. are
 already on a non—harmful interference basis. Intelsat will also continue to
 operate in accordance with India‘s existing coordination agreements regarding
 the nominal 55° E.L. location.

 For thereasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the
 Commission expeditiously grant this request to extend for 30 days the STA to
 continue to operate the Intelsat 706 satellite at 54.85° E.L.

 Sincerely,
