January 2, 2018 FILED ELECTRONICALLY Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12" Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: EchoStar Broadcasting Holding Corporation Notification of Pro Forma Change in Ownership of Non—U.S. Licensed Space Station Call Sign E080107, File No. SES—MEFS—20090306—00253 Dear Ms. Dortch: The Commission previously modified the license for the above—referenced earth station by adding Nimiq 5, a Canadian—licensed satellite, as a point of communication. By virtue of this grant, Nimiq 5 has U.S. market access. EchoStar Broadcasting Holding Corporation ("EBHC") is the licensee of the above—referenced earth station. Telesat Canada ("Telesat"), which had been the owner of Nimiq 5, has informed EBHC of a change in the satellite‘s ownership. Telesat has advised EBHC that this change is entirely proforma.‘ Accordingly, and pursuant to Section 25.137(g) of the Commission‘s rules," EBHC hereby notifies the Commission that Nimigq 5 is now owned by Telesat Spectrum General Partnership ("TSGP") rather than Telesat. Please direct any questions concerning this matter to the undersigned. Alison Minea Un Miu EchoStar Broadcasting Holding Corporation ‘ As Telesat has notified the Commission separately in connection with a corresponding change in the ownership of Anik FIR, Anik F2, and Anik F3, and as Telesat has advised EBHC, this change is entirely pro forma since: (1) Telesat owns 99.999% of the units of TSGP, a general partnership formed under the laws of Ontario, Canada; and (2) Telesat indirectly owns the remaining units of TGSP through its 100% ownership of Telesat 2016 ULC, a Canadian company formed under the laws of Alberta, which owns the remaining units. 247 C.FR. § 25.137(g).
