      Marlene H. Dortch, Esquire
      Secretary
      Federal Communications Commission
      445 12 Street, S.W., The Portals
      Washington, D.C. 20554
      Attention:            Systems Analysis Branch

                                  American Samoa License, Inc.
                                  E990019
                                  SES—MFS—20080506—00540

      Dear Ms. Dortch:

               On behalf of American Samoa License, Inc. ("ASLI"), licensee of fixed earth station
      E990019 and applicant to modify E990019 to add a new antenna to communicate with the
      JCSAT—2A satellite at 154° E.L. in the conventional C—band (File No. SES—MFS—20080506—
      00540), we hereby provide an update on ASLI‘s efforts to provide the information concerning
      JCSAT—2A requested in the May 22, 2008, letter of Scott A. Kotler, Chief, Systems Analysis
      Branch. On June 20, 2008, this office provided by e—mail to Mr. Kotler ".gxt" files with
      technical information required by Schedule S concerning (1) interference analysis; (2) cross—
      polarization information and; (3) description of types of services to be provided. Ron Whitworth
      of this office also conferred with Kal Krautkramer of the FCC‘s International Bureau regarding
      the information provided in ASLI‘s response. Mr. Whitworth also submitted PDF versions of the
      required coverage contour maps. Mr. Krautkramer indicated that the maps needed to be provided
      in the latest version of GIMS software. ASLI has been working with consultants at Comsearch
      to accomplish this; however, they were unable to convert the files to the appropriate format.
      ASLI is currently attempting to contact other satellite consultants to assist with providing the
      requested information as an amendment to ASLI‘s application in Schedule S. ASLI will provide
      a further update once it has engaged a consultant able to satisfy the Commission‘s request.
