                   Application for Modification of KA313 License to

               Convert License From Common Carrier Authorization to
                          Non-Common Carrier Authorization;

Convert From Common Carrier to Non-Common Carrier Authorization

       By this application Airbus DS SatCom Government, Inc. (ASGI) respectfully
seeks modification of the KA313 license to convert the license from a Common Carrier
Authorization to a Non-Carrier Authorization. In making this request ASGI notes that in
January 2015 modifications of ASGI licenses were approved which moved earth station
authorizations for all Hub Antennas which were formerly on the KA313 license to other
ASGI licenses, see SES-MFS-20140808-00644 SES-MFS-20140804-00633. As a result,
the only authorizations now on the KA313 license are for land VSAT and ESV remote
antennas.

Update of Sea Tel Model 4006 Authorization

       ASGI is also requesting by this application to update the Particulars of Operation
and Antenna Facilities Specifications for the Sea Tel Model 4006 1.0 Meter Ku-band
antennas currently authorized for use to provide ESV service per the KA313 license. The
reason for the update is to increase the power authorized for use with the antenna and


Exhibit 1 – Narrative and Showing of Compliance with Section 25.222

update the authorized Emission Designator parameters accordingly. As set forth further
in following sections of this narrative, ASGI is also seeking by this application to add to
the KA313 license authorization for the 4009 and 4010 models of this same Sea Tel 1.0
meter Ku-band antenna. As the operating parameters (e.g., gains, etc.) for the 4006, 4009
and 4010 are identical; ASGI proposes to accomplish this 4006 update by –

          1. completely deleting from the current version of the KA313 license all
             information listed for the 4006;
          2. combining the 4006 with the 4009 and 4010 for purposes of the KA313
             authorization for this Sea Tel 1.0 meter antenna; and then
          3. adding the Particulars of Operations, Antenna Facilities Specifications and
             other information for the 4006/4009/4010 antennas to the license as per the
             information set forth for these antennas in the Schedule B of the Modification
             Application.

        It is therefore requested that all information listed for the Sea Tel model 4006
antenna in the current KA313 license be deleted and then added back in as per the
Schedule B information set forth in the Modification Application for the 4006/4009/4010
antennas. No change is being made to any other aspects of the current authorization for
any other antennas authorized per the KA313 license. No information other than that
listed below for the Sea Tel 4006 antenna is being updated.

          Specifically, the following is to be deleted from the current KA313 license-

                     A) Site Location(s)

 22) ESV/4006         Operate up to 550 remotes                                                                    83
                      (1.0M)
                      CONUS


                      Licensee certifies antenna(s) do not comply with Section 25.209. Please refer to Section E
                      for special conditions placed upon antennas at this site.

 Modification Application for the 4006/4009/4010 antennas.


          Addition of Other ESV Remote Antennas to ESV Authorization

       Finally, ASGI is requesting by this application that the following new ESV
remote antennas be added to the KA313 authorization to provide ESV service:

          Intellian Model v60G 0.60 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Intellian Model v80G 0.83 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Intellian Model v240K 2.4 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Sea Tel Model 3612 0.90 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Sea Tel Model 4009/4010 1.0 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Sea Tel Model 4012 1.06 Meter Ku-band Antennas;
          Sea Tel Model 5009/5010/5012 1.2 Meter Ku-band Antennas; and
          Sea Tel Model 9797/9711 2.4 Meter Ku-band Antennas

        The authorizations requested for all is for operation on vessels traveling in U.S.
and international waters and all will operate with hub antennas that are separately
licensed; will be utilized to provide ESV service in the same manner as previously
authorized by the Commission; and will be operated in full compliance with the
requirements of the Commission’s ESV regulations as set forth in part 25 of the Rules

       ASGI’s showing of compliance with Part 25 of the Commission’s Rules follows
herewith and except as further explained in the following section, the exhibits required by
Section 25.222 are included as attachments to the application.

          Use of Antenna Plots and Charts Filed With Prior Applications


Exhibit 1 – Narrative and Showing of Compliance with Section 25.222


        It is ASGI’s understanding that earth station applicants seeking authorization for
earth station antennas which have been previously approved by the International Bureau
need not attach antenna radiation plots as an exhibit to their application but need only
provide an attachment citing the antennas for which authorization is being sought and an
application file number and call sign of a license in which those antennas have been
approved. Barring any countervailing considerations, the Bureau will consider granting
the application for the antennas, providing the applicant proposes the same kinds of
services as the operator of the previously authorized antennas under the same or
substantially similar operating conditions.

        ASGI notes that it has previously sought and been granted authorization under its
Call Sign WB36 license to operate all the above listed ESV antennas which it now seeks
by this application to add to the KA313 ESV authorization. These antennas will be used
for the same kinds of services as those previously authorized per WB36 are used and will
be used under the same operating conditions. AGSI is therefore not attaching with this
application the charts and tables which would otherwise be submitted to show
compliance with Sections 25.221 (a) (1) & (b) (1). Rather, it will reference the
application file number associated with the prior approval of each antenna and
respectfully requests that the Commission’s staff rely upon the prior application materials
in processing the instant application.
