April 29, 2019 Mr. Jose Albuquerque, Chief Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: HNS License Sub, LLC: IBFS File Nos. SES-LIC-20170807-00876 through SES-LIC-20170807-00895; Call Signs: E170151-E170170 Dear Mr. Albuquerque: HNS License Sub, LLC (“HNS”) submits this letter in response to the Satellite Division’s April 1, 2019 letter (“Letter”) 1 requesting additional information regarding HNS’s pending applications to operate twenty new gateway earth stations that will communicate with the HNS 95W satellite system (“HNS 95W” or “Jupiter 3”). Pursuant to Section 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, HNS requests a short extension of time to respond to the Letter.2 The Letter asks HNS to provide by May 1, 2019 information regarding each of its twenty proposed gateway earth stations. In particular, the Letter asks HNS to provide “[a] separate table for each concerned frequency band containing a list of the U.S. census block ID numbers within each county that are covered entirely or partially by the PFD contour for the 27.5-28.35 GHz band, and by the protection zone for the 47.2-48.2 GHz band.”3 Upon receipt of the Letter, HNS began compiling the necessary information to respond to the Division’s request for its twenty gateway earth stations. However, this is the first time HNS is preparing aggregate analyses pursuant to the relatively new rule Section 25.136 which applies to earth stations operating in the 27.5-28.35 GHz, 37.5-40 GHz, and 47.2-48.2 GHz bands. 4 Due to the nature of the analysis required, HNS has good cause to request a short extension of time to respond. 1 Letter from Jose P. Albuquerque, Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, to Jennifer A. Manner, Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Hughes Network Systems, LLC, File Nos.

Mr. Jose Albuquerque, Chief April 29, 2019 Page 2 HNS respectfully requests that the Commission extend the deadline for HNS’s reply by fifteen business days, to May 22, 2019. This brief extension will provide HNS with the time required to collect the necessary information so that HNS may provide a comprehensive response to the Division’s questions for each of its 20 gateway earth stations. Moreover, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.46(c), HNS counsel has orally notified Commission staff of this extension request. For the foregoing reasons, HNS requests the Division to extend the deadline for filing its response to the Letter to May 22, 2019. Sincerely, /s/ Jennifer A. Manner Jennifer A. Manner Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs cc: Jose Albuquerque Stephen Duall Kathyrn Medley
