Dear Ms. Dortch:

        HNS License Sub, LLC ("Hughes"), licensee of the above—referenced earth station in
New York City, NY, by its attorneys, hereby requests an additional 12 months to meet the
construction deadline for the earth station. The modification application, allowing relocation of
the earth station from Wahiawa, HI to New York and establishment of operations in
conventional C—band, was granted on October 14, 2009. The conditions in Section H of the
modified authorization include the obligation to complete construction by the "required date of
completion" unless an extension is requested and supported. Under Section 25.133(b) of the
Commission‘s rules, the required date of completion for the modified facility would be October
14, 2010.

        Hughes hereby requests a one—year extension of the deadline — or until October 14, 2011
— for completion of construction. To date, and despite continuing efforts, Hughes has been
unable to secure the requisite construction approvals from the operator of the site on the UN
Plaza at which the antenna is to be installed. The inability to obtain approvals is a matter beyond
Hughes‘s control. Hughes emphasizes that it is prepared to proceed promptly with the
installation once approval is obtained. This is not a zoning issue.

       Please address any questions or requests for further information to me.

                                               Respectfullysubmitted,




                                           gph .
