Intelsat is authorized by the FCCto operate the Galaxy 27 space station in the C—band 3700—4200 MHz downlink and 5925—6425 MHz uplink), and Ku—band (11.7 —12.2 GHz downlink and 14—14.5 GHz uplink), at the 129.0° W.L. orbital location. Intelsat proposes to operate Galaxy 27 at 45.10° E.L., where it would operate under authorization issued by BNetzA to Europe*Star. The authorization includes conditions to provide for removal at end—of—life of the Galaxy 27 space station to an orbit consistent with TTU Recommendation $.1003—1, Environmental Protection of the Geostationary—Satellite Orbit. Intelsat plans to keep the Galaxy 27 space station at the 45. 10° E.L. orbital locationuntil it is de—orbited at the end of its useful life. On March 11, 2010, the FCC granted Intelsat special temporary authority for 100 days, commencing on April 1, 2010, to operate Galaxy 27s TT&Cfrequencies to relocate the space station to the 45.10° E.L. orbital location, from its currently assigned orbital location of 129.0° W.L. On June 2, 2010, the FCCgranted Intelsat special temporary authority for a period ofthirty days for operations at the 45.10° E.L. orbital location, and this special temporary authority was renewed for an additional thirty days, ending July 31, 2010 .

It is my understanding that our agencies have concurredon the following technical issues concerning the operation of Galaxy 27: 1. Until the effective date of approval by the FCC to change the Notifying Administration associated with the Galaxy 27 space station, it will operate subject to FCCauthority. Upon the effective date of approval by the FCC ofthe change in the Notifying DJ Administration of the Galaxy 27 space station, and thereafter, the Galaxy 27 space station will operate subject to BNetzA‘s authority. BNetzA will thereafter have responsibility for compliance with the ITU Radio Regulations (including the requirement for licensing as specified in Article 18.1 of the Radio Regulations, and any applicable agreement—seeking procedures) in connection with operation ofthe Galaxy 27 space station.
