Dear Ms. Manner:

         On August 7, 2017, HNS Licensee Sub LLC filed the above captioned applications to operate 20
new gateway earth stations that will communicate with the HNS 95W satellite system.’ To assist in the
Satellite Division’s processing of these applications, please provide the information requested below.2

      1. For each application, IBFS File numbers SES-LIC-20170807-00876 through SES-LIC
         20170807-00895, provide the following information to supplement HNS’s Section 25.136
         analysis:3

                      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. For each census block ID within these tables provide: 1) the
                      total population of the census block; 2) the percentage of the census block area that
                      the PFD contour or protection zone covers; and 3) the total calculated population of
                      the census block that is affected. Using this information, estimate the total
                      population per county that is covered by the PFD contour or protection zone and
                      verify whether the requirements of 47 CFR § 25.136 are met.

      2. For each application: LBFS File numbers SES-LIC-20170807-00877,
         SES-LIC-20 170807-00879, SES-LIC-20 170807-00880, SES-LIC-20 170807-00883,
         SES-LIC-20 170807-00889, SES-LIC-20 170807-00890, SES-LIC-20 170807-00893,
         SES-LIC-20 170807-00894, and SES-LIC-20 170807-00895:

                 For the frequency band 27.85-28.35 GHz, the tables described in number 1 above have to
                 be provided only if the aggregate pfd contour associated with the previously authorized
                 earth station and the new earth station is not entirely contained within the corresponding
                 contour associated with the previously authorized earth station. In case a table needs to

1 On February 21, 2019, HNS License Sub LLC filed amendments to each of these applications to provide additional

information including information regarding 47 CFR § 25.136.
247 CFR § 25.111(a).

347   CFR § 25.136.


                be presented, the population calculations described in number 1 above are limited to areas
                outside the contour associated with the previously authorized earth station.

     The requested information must be submitted no later than May 1, 2019. Failure to do so may result
in the dismissal of HNS’s applications pursuant to Section 25.112(c) of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
§ 25.112(c).
                                                Sincerely,
