SECTION 3507.

EXHIBIT 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules," DISH Operating L.L.C. (together with its affiliates, "DISH") requests to renew its special temporary authorization ("STA") for an additional 30 days, until September 6, 2016, to conduct in—orbit testing ("IOT") of the EchoStar 18 satellite (Call Sign $2931) at the 67.2° W.L. orbital location.* Grant of the requested STA renewal will allow DISH to continue conducting IOT and TT&C operations of EchoStar 18 while the satellite remains temporarily at 67.2° W.L., prior to moving to its proposed assigned orbital location at 61.35° W.L.," in accordance with the following schedule: (1) EchoStar 18 was launched successfully on June 18, 2016. (2) After launch and orbit—raising maneuvers, EchoStar 18 was placed at 67.2° W.L., where IOT is being conducted for approximately 60 days. (3) After completion of IOT, EchoStar 18 will be moved to its proposed assigned orbital location at 61.35° W.L. The requested testing will not cause harmful interference to other authorized co— frequency broadcasting satellite service ("BSS") operations. The nearest co-fr¢quency satellites are EchoStar 12, EchoStar 15, and EchoStar 16 at the 61.5° W.L. orbital cluster and Nimiq 5 at 72.7° W.L., all of which are being utilized by EchoStar for the provision of BSS/DBS. The IOT test plan procedures will be such that no interference will be generated into the adjacent EchoStar services. In the unlikely event of harmful interference, DISH is prepared to take A See 47 C.FR. § 25.120(b)(3). See DISH, IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20160627—00062 (granted July 7, 2016). } DISH has a pending modification application to change EchoStar 18‘s assigned orbital location to 61.35° W.L. See DISH, IBFS File No. SAT—MOD—20160722—000 (filed July 22, 2016).

appropriate measures to eliminate the interference, including immediately terminating IOT upon receiving notice of such interference. Grant of the requested STA renewal will serve the public interest by allowing DISH to conduct IOT operations required to ensure that the EchoStar 18 satellite is fully operational and capable of providing service to millions of DISH subscribers.
