              Re:    Request of NewCom Interoational for Spemal Temporary Authority to
              Operate a Transmit/Receive Common Carrier C—Band Earth Station at Miami,
              Florida using the Express 3A Space Station Satcllite to Exteud Connectivity to Cuba,
              and Cocrtain International Points in Africa; FCC No. SES-AFS-2006100601814.

      On behalf of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), I am reqdcsting that the Federal
      Communications Commission (FCC) delay granting any fimal authorization of the satellite earth
      station application cited above to use the Express—3A Satellite.             |
                                                                                   1
                                                                                   |
      The basis of this request is similar to the request USTR submitted in February 2005, namely that
      the United States is currently negotiating the terms of the Riussian Federation‘s accession to the
      World Trade Organization. Until those negotiations are completed, it would be premature to
      grant permanent authorization to use any Russian licensed satellite system such as the Express—
      3A.                                                                         |

      As with the previous request, USTR does not object to theissuance of Spemal Temporary
      Authorization for this license application.
                                                                               l
                                                                                  1


                                                     Sincerely,                }
