Exhibit A Description of Application Pursuant to Section 25.117(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.117(c), Harris Corporation ("Harris") hereby requests that the FCC extend the deadline for construction completion and commencement of operation of Harris’s earth station (Call Sign E090090, File No. SES-LIC-20090521-00640) one year until July 7, 2011. Specific details regarding this extension request are provided below. On May 21, 2009, Harris filed an FCC Form 312 request with the Commission seeking authorization for the subject Ku Band earth station.1 This submission was made pursuant to a Request For Tender ("RFT") submitted by Harris in order to procure a contract to provide communications to US Navy and NOAA vessels under the US Navy Commercial Broadband Satellite Program. Governmental award of this contract was contested, and Harris is currently awaiting GAO action to resolve the contested claims. Harris expects the contract will be awarded in the near future, and in order to fulfill its obligations if awarded the contract, Harris will need to facilitate timely construction and operation implementation measures for the earth station referenced herein.2 As noted above, Harris states that the additional time as requested herein is due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond its control. Harris hereby submits the following in justification of the extension period requested: Harris estimates that the contract will be awarded in approximately one-hundred days, and upon said contract being awarded, an additional 120 days will be necessary for delivery After Order Receipt/Request of the sitcom equipment. An additional 120 days will be required for installation, testing, and verification of the equipment. 1 The FCC authorization for earth station E090090 (File No. SES-LIC-20090521-00640) was granted effective July 7, 2009. 2 On April 26, 2010 Harris filed two similar requests for Ku Band earth stations E090040 (File No. SES-MOD-20100426-00480) and E090041 (File No. SES-MOD-20100426-00481). These requests were granted by the Commission effective June 10, 2010. On May 4, 2010 Harris also filed a similar request for C Band earth station E090062 (File No. SES-LIC-20100504-00550). This request was granted by the Commission effective June 23, 2010 Each of these stations would operate under the same contract.
