Dear Mr. Edinger,

    To continue the review of your application SES MOD 2003091 9 01 302 for addition of points
of communication and emissions to the existing license for call sign E980250, we require the
following information within 30 days of the date of this letter. Failure to provide this information
within the period specified may result in dismissal of the application. We may, upon further
review, require additional information.

    1. In your application, you provide the following description: “Modification to add
       TONGASAT C/Ku Satellite @ 138 E.L. and ALSAT as points of communications, add
       emissions, correct coordinates, and change EIRP and EIRP density for existing
       emissions.” Would you improve the information content of the description by revising it
       as follows:

                     - Clarify the relationship between names and payload for the
                         TONGASAT C/Ku Satellite @ 138 E.L. that is being added to
                         MABUHAY (AGILA 2) @ 146 E.L. as a point of communications.
                         Please choose one common name to use throughout the application.

                     -   List the emissions that are being added, noting whether they are being
                         added to already approved bands or to new bands, and include frequency
                         band, polarization, power and power density. Abide by DA 99- 1259 in
                         identifying emissions, both in the application description and when
                         entering data in Schedule B, Section B7, of Form 3 12. Application
                         SESMOD2003091901302 increases the number of emissions from 14 to
                         94, and a cursory review discloses that there are more than four
                         emissions for each bandwidth and polarization. There are about 24
                         emissions listed for the receive mode for class G7W. Please note that if


                      both circular and linear polarizations are identified for the same
                      emission, they may be combined as Linear and Circular. Combining the
                      polarizations reduces the G7W emissions to 12. Abiding by DA 99-1259
                      would reduce the 12 to 4.

                 -    List the existing emissions for which EIRP and EiRP density are being
                      changed.

                 -    State the values for the correct coordinates, and the current coordinates.

2. Clearly identify the responses to requirements for earth stations operating with non-U.S.
   licensed space stations (47 CFR, Part 25, Section 25.137) by a heading such as “Non-US
   Licensed Space Station Requirements” or “DISCO I1 Analysis” or “25.137 Analysis,”
   and respond to the requirements of 25.137(a) in the order that the requirements are listed,
   with reference to paragraph, sub paragraph and sentence (if appropriate). The material
   provided under the heading “Public Interest Considerations” in Section 16 of the
   Application is insufficient for us to make a determination with regard to 25.137(a). We
   are reviewing the technical data that was submitted, and will let you know if we require
   additional information for the remainder of 25.137.


   Sincerely,
                     LhlL--J-
                     Wm Howden, Chief, Systems Analysis Branch, Satellite Division
