                           Re:    Lockheed Martin Corporation Petition for Reinstatement
                                  Of Expired License £7541; File No. SES—MOD—20001130—02268

  Dear Ms. Dortch:

             Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin"), by its attorneys, submits the
  enclosed letter from Comsearch Senior Manager David E. Meyer as a supplement to the above—
  referenced petition seeking reinstatement of Lockheed Martin‘s C—band fixed—satellite service
  transmit/receive earth station, Call Sign E7541, in Carpentersville, New Jersey. Lockheed
  Martin‘s license to operate Station E7541 expired on August 3, 2007, and its pending petition for
  reinstatement was filed on May 16, 2008.

             Mr. Meyer states in the attached letter that, notwithstanding that its license had
  expired, Station E7541 has been under Comsearch‘s "continuous monitor and frequency
  protection service." Comsearch has been "monitoring all new frequency coordinations on
  [Lockheed Martin‘s] behalf and maintaining their participation in the frequency coordination
  process" on the receive 3650—3700 and 3700.5—4199.5 MHz bands and the transmit band at
  6423.5 MHz. It has also continuously protected the frequency coordination of Station E7541.

                    Comsearch‘s monitoring and protection of Station E7541 supports the grant of
   Lockheed Martin‘s Petition for Reinstatement. Because the Station has been continuously
   treated as licensed for frequency coordination purposes, terrestrial licenses issued since Station
   E7541‘s expiration date already recognize that Station and will be unaffected by its
   reinstatement. This means that no terrestrial licensee will be affected by the reinstatement of

Lockheed Martin‘s license for Station E7541 because any potentially affected Commission
licensee has already had its operations coordinated with those of Station E7541. This de minimis
impact on other licensees provides a further basis, in addition to those previously expressed by
Lockheed Martin, for grant of its Petition for Reinstatement.

            Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.

          date of completion of construction unless—an application for modification of construction permit for
          additional time to complete construction is filed by that date, together witha showing that failure to
          complete construction by the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee.

          Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement
          to collect annual regulatory fees from regulates is contained in Public Law 103—66, "The Omnibus
          Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993". These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal
          year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service,
          international and policy and rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each
          year, setting the new regulatory fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of
          regulatory fees.

                    Re:        Further Supplemental Information Regarding Application of
                               Lockheed Martin Corporation to Modify Earth Station at
                               Carpentersville, NJ (Call Sign E7541, File Nos. SES—MOD—20001130—
                               02268 and SES—AMD—20010717—01356)

Dear Ms. Salas:

        This letter provides further supplemental information regarding the above—referenced
application of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("LMC") to modify its license for a C—band Earth
station facility at Carpentersville, New Jersey to include spectrumin the 3650—3700 MHz
(extended C—band) range. In its initial application, LMC sought a waiver of the Commission rule
that would accord primary status only to those extended C—band earth stations for which
applications that were filed prior to December 1, 2000 and which sought to establish new or
modified extended C—band facilities that are located within 10 miles of an existing grandfathered
extended C—band Earth station receive site. LMC‘s application was filed on November 30, 2000,
but requested primary status for an extended C—band Earth station receive site that is located
approximately 45 miles from the nearest grandfathered site (i.e., the one in Franklin, New
Jersey). See LMC Application at Exhibit 1.

        In August 2001, LMC supplemented its application with the submission of a figure,
prepared for LMC by Comsearch, that purported to show that if a 200 kilometer coordination
zone for fixed service systems is established around the coordinates of LMC‘s Carpentersville
Earth station facility in western New Jersey, the entire 200 kilometer coordination zone would be
encompassed within the 200 kilometer coordination zones of other extended C—band Earth
stations on the grandfathered list that is included in the Commission‘s First Report and Order
and Second Notice ofProposed Rule Making in ET Docket No. 98—237. In fact, close
examination of the figure shows that there is a tiny area, to the far southeast of the 200 kilometer

coordination zone around the Carpentersville site, that appears not to be fully within any of the
other coordination zones plotted on the figure.

        LMC has revisited the subject of the "uncovered" area of the coordination zone around
the Carpentersville site with Comsearch, and provides two new figures for the Commission‘s
consideration. In the first new figure that is attached to this letter, the scale of the figure
provided in August is enlarged to show that the area of the Carpentersville facility‘s coordination
zone that may not be fully within the coordination zones of the other plotted grandfathered earth
stations is located in the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast of Cape May, New Jersey and to the
northeast of Lewes, Delaware. As a practical matter, fixed service stations will not be able to be
located in this area. In the second new figure, coordination zones for two additional
grandfathered extended C—band earth stations — one in Alexandria, Virginia and the other in
Staten Island, New York —are added to the figure. The addition of these two earth station
coordination zones appearto effectively cover the small area of ocean that appeared to be
uncovered in the figure LMC submitted in August.

       The following grandfathered extended C—band earth stations are the ones plotted on the
second attached figure (and all but the Alexandria and Staten Island stations were plotted on the
August figure as well):

Earth Station                       Call Sign         Coordinates
Alexandria, VA                      KASl              38° 47 36" N / 77° 09‘ 59" W
Clarksburg, MD                      KA260             39° 13‘ 05" N / 77° 16‘ 12" W

Hauppauge, NY                       E950436           40° 49° 15" N/ 73° 15° 50° W
Hawley, PA                          E950209           41° 27 51"° N/ 75° 07 48" W
Roaring Creek, PA                   WA33              40° 53‘ 37.5" N / 76° 26° 22" W
Staten Island, NY                   KA3O8             40° 36‘ 13" N / 74° 10‘ 39" W

        As a result of the two new figures, LMC is able to reiterate that the grant of primary
status to LMC‘s proposed facility would not impose any coordination obligation that does not
already exist, yet it would provide the certainty and other desirable benefits of primary status that
LMC recited in its application. See LMC Application at Exhibit 1. LMC further reiterates that it
has shownin its initial application that the unique terrain features of the Carpentersville complex
will greatly reduce the likelihood that a terrestrial station could interfere with the Earth station‘s
operations in any event. Id. at Exhibit 1 and attachments.

        On the basis of the foregoing, and for the reasons it provided in its Application (as
amended) and August 2001 Supplement, LMC respectfully renews its request that the
Commission grant LMC‘s extended C—band modification of license application for
Carpentersville.
