Dortch, Secretary FAX 703.905.2820 Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. www.wileyrein.com Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Intelsat North America LLC, Request for Special Temporary Authority for Intelsat 801, File No. SAT-STA-20091216-00146 (call sign S2391) Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat North America LLC (“Intelsat North America”), by counsel, files this letter pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) rules1 to clarify certain frequency information in the above-referenced application for Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to drift the Intelsat 801 satellite (call sign S2391) from 31.5° W.L. to 29.5º W.L. and to operate temporarily at the 29.5º W.L. location. First, the pending STA request inadvertently switched the uplink and downlink C- band frequencies that are proposed for use during the drift. The corrected frequencies are as follows: Uplink: 5850-6425 MHz Downlink: 3625-4200 MHz Second, Intelsat North America clarifies that the pending STA request does not seek authority to operate the Intelsat 801 satellite’s extended C-band (i.e., 3625-3700 MHz and 5850-5925 MHz) or extended Ku-band frequencies (i.e., 10.95-11.2 GHz and 11.45-11.7 GHz) to, from or within the United States. Intelsat 801’s extended C-band frequencies will be used only outside the United States during the proposed drift and temporary operations at 29.5º W.L. Additionally, Intelsat North America clarifies that the geographic footprint for the beams that utilize the extended Ku- band on Intelsat 801 will not include the United States. 1 47 C.F.R. § 1.65.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary February 22, 2010 Page 2 Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Sincerely, /s/ Jennifer D. Hindin Jennifer Hindin Counsel for Intelsat North America LLC
