Re:    Application of Intelsat License LLC to Modify Authorization
       for Intelsat 706 (call sign S2401), File No. SAT-MOD-
       20121026-00188

       Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
       to Drift Intelsat 706 and Request to Begin Operations (call
       sign S2401), File No. SAT-STA-20130206-00017

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein supplements the above-
referenced pending applications seeking permanent and temporary
authority to operate Intelsat 706 at 157.0º E.L.

First, the modification application stated that the Intelsat 706
satellite’s authority to operate in the 12.5-12.75 GHz band would not
be conditioned on Intelsat remaining a signatory to the Public
Services Agreement between Intelsat and the International
Telecommunications Satellite Organization (“ITSO”).1 Intelsat now
confirms that the Intelsat 706 satellite’s authority to operate in the
12.5-12.75 GHz band is conditioned on Intelsat remaining a signatory
to the ITSO Public Service Agreement.

Second, Intelsat clarifies that although Intelsat 706 has the capability
to transmit in the 11700-11950 MHz band, Intelsat does not seek
authority to use these frequencies on the Intelsat 706 satellite at the
157.0º orbital location.
