The FCC has previously authorized these points of communications.6 EBC requests that the Commission correct the license so that EchoStar 6 at 96.2° W.L. is listed as a point of communications. On August 11, 2014, the International Bureau and the Office of Engineering and Technology granted EBC’s application to add EchoStar 6 at 96.2° W.L. as a point of communications.7 However, that grant is not reflected on the license. Accordingly, EBC requests that Commission correct the license to add EchoStar 6 at 96.2° W.L. as a point of communications. EBC requests that the Commission delete the following points of communications from the license:  1. Mt. Jackson to ECHOSTAR 1 @ 148.0 W.L. of the Direct Broadcast Satellite system (U.S.- licensed)8  2. Mt. Jackson to ECHOSTAR 2 @ 148 W.L. of the Direct Broadcast satellite system (U.S.- licensed)9  3.
