Dear Ms. Dortch: _ 1 [ ‘PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat") herein requests an additional 30—day extension — from June 11, 2010 through July 10, 2010 — of the Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) previously granted PanAmSat to operate Intelsat 3R (call 31gn PAS—2R) at 43. 1° W.L. PanAmSat relocated Intelsat 3R to 43.1° W.L. under a 180—day STA® because at the time that STA requestwas filed — January 2009 — the estimated fuel on the satellite resulted in a planned de—orbit date in early—to—mid 2010. Since then, PanAmSat has extended the satellite‘s estimated End ofManeuver Life to July 2011 after an annual fuel usage evaluation. Given this new information, PanAmSat initially planned to seek permanent authority to operate at 43.1° W.L. In response to customer demand, however, PanAmSat has filed a 180— day STA request to drift Intelsat 3R from 43.1° W.L. to $1.0° W.L., and to operate the satellite temporarily at 81.0° inthe conventional C— andKu—bands.* ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159 and an $830.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. * See PolicyBranch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00694, File No. SAT—STA—20100520—00105 (May 28, 2010) (Public Notice); Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00677, File No. SAT— STA—20100218—00030 and File No. SAT—STA—20100323—00055 (Apr. 2, 2010) ‘ (Public Notice); Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT— ~ 00663, File No. SAT—STA—20100122—00016 (Jan. 29, 2010)' (Public Notice); _ Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00619, File No. — SAT—'STA—20090129-00012 (July 24, 2009) (Public Notice). * See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—00619, File — No SAT—STA-2009012900012 (July24,2009) (Pubhc Notlce) * See PanAmSat Licensee Corp.
