Motion for Extension of Time Dear Ms. Dortel: NewCom International,Ic.(‘NewCom"), through its undersigned counsel and pursuant to Section 1.46 ofthe Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.46, hereby requests an extension of time to file an amendment t ts pending earth station application (SES—MFS—20041206—01790, as amended by SES—AFS—20050114—00050) as required by Section 25.137 ofthe Commission‘s rules." Specificlly, NewCom secks a 60—day extension ofthe November 18, 2005 deadline." ‘Under the Commission‘s rules and pursuant to the Commission‘s recently released Orbital Debris Public Notice, arth station applicants with a pending application for authorization to access as a point ofcommunication a non—U.. liensed space station are required to amend their application to provide a narrative description ofthe space stations operator‘s plans to mitigate orbital debris." NewCom‘s pending earth sation application requests authorization to access the Express 3A Russian satelite to provide data services to Cubs, and, as part of ts application, NewCom included certain orbital debris mitigation information as Exhibit B. The Commission‘s Orbital Debris Public Notice requires applicants, such as NewCom, to include additionalinformation in is application. Accordingly, NewCom intends to amend ts application to provide the required narative description 1 e lse, Miigaton fOrbtalDebrisSecond Reportand Order, 19 FCC Red 11567 20004 : DisclonrefOrbelDabrs Mugation Plan,Icluding Amendnent ofPnding Applicaions, Public Noie, DA 05269 (October13, 2005) (*Oihial Debrs Public Notice") (seinga November18,2008 deadinc}. & a crn y asion msimeron oc« newroncnce

Swipter Bertin« Mariene H. Dorich, Secretary November 14, 2008 Page2 As noted in NewCom‘s application, NewCom does not own or operate the Express 3A satelite. Therefore, it does not have readily available the required orbital debris mitigation information, but must instead seek such information from the Russian Rederation Govemnment. NewCom is working dligently to obtain the requisite information and, in fact, will be in Russia this week as part ofthese efforts. NewCom is coordinating with the Russian Federation to obtain an English language version ofthe Russian debris miigation rules, and any other information required by the FCC that might not be contained in those rules. Obtaining such information, however, can be a time—consuming process and, at this time, NewCom is uncertain whether it willhave all the information it needs from the Russian Federation by November 18, in order to amend it application as required by the Commission‘s rules. Therefore, NewCom respectfully requests a 60—day extension to submit the space station operator‘s plans to mitigate orbital debris. An original and four (4) copies are enclosed for fling. Please date—stamp the enclosed extra copy, and returm it to the undersigned. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regurding this matter Respectfully submitted, Kathy L.

GRANT OF WaIVER AND REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE ORBITAL DEBRIS MITIGATION PLANS File Nos.: SES—MEFS—20041206—01790 (NewCom International, Inc.y; SES—MOD—20021125—02060 (MCLInc.) On November 14 and 18, 2005, NewCom International, Inc. ("NewCom*) and MCL, Inc. (°MCT")filed separate requests to waive the November 18, 2005, deadline to amend their pending applications by disclosing the orbital debris mitigation plans for their space segment, as required by the Commission‘s rules." Both waiver requests involve the obtaining and submission ofthe orbital debris mitigation plans for the Express—3A spacccraft, licensed under the administration ofthe Russian Federation and operated by the Russian Satellite Communications Company. We find that, in this instance, the public interest warrants waiver ofthe amendment deadline and an extension of time to file the orbital debris mitigation plans for the Express3A spacecraft. Although MCI and NewCom request different time periods for the extension, we will grant an identical 60—day extension period to both parties because they are similarly stuated. Accordingly, MCI and NewCom will have 60—days from the deadline (thatis, until January 17, 2006) to file an orbital debris amendment in the above—captioned files. Failure to file an amendment within this time period will result in the dismissal ofthe underlying applications. ‘ SeePublic Notce, JternaionalBureau Satelte Divsion Information, Disclsure ofOrbital Debris Mitgation Plans,Including AmendmentofPending Apolications, DA 05—2698 (ct 13,2005; Mitation ofOibial DebrisSecond Report and Order, 19 PCC Red 11567 (2004)
