SatCom Law LLC 1317 F St. NW, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20004 T 202.599.0975 www.satcomlaw.com October 25, 2011 By Electronic Filing Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Correction to STA Requests for AMC-2 (Call Sign S2134) File Nos. SAT-STA-20111017-00204 & SAT-STA-20111017-00205 Dear Ms. Dortch: SES Americom, Inc. (doing business as “SES”), by its attorney, hereby advises the Commission of a correction to the above-referenced requests for special temporary authority to begin drifting 1 the AMC-2 satellite towards 4.98° E.L. and to operate AMC-2 upon its arrival at 4.98° E.L.2 Specifically, both STA requests contained erroneous information regarding the C-band beacon at 3700.5 MHz, indicating that this beacon would use horizontal polarization.3 In fact, during the drift of AMC-2 towards 4.98° E.L. and while the satellite is on station at 4.98° E.L., the C-band beacons will use the satellite’s global horn antenna and will both employ vertical polarization. SES respectfully requests that the Commission update its records regarding the STA requests to reflect that the correct polarization for the 3700.5 MHz beacon is vertical. Please address any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Karis A. Hastings Karis A. Hastings Counsel for SES Americom, Inc. karis@satcomlaw.com cc: Stephen Duall Jay Whaley Kathyrn Medley 1 File No. SAT-STA-20111017-00205 (the “Drift STA Request”), grant-stamped Oct. 20, 2011. 2 File No. SAT-STA-20111017-00204 (the “Operations STA Request”). 3 See Drift STA Request, Narrative at 4-5, n.13; Operations STA Request, Narrative at 4, n.12.
