EXHIBIT 1

NOTIFICATION OF MODIFICATION AND WAIVER REQUEST
(Response to FCC Form 312, Question 43)

Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 25.118(a)(4)(vi), HNS License Sub, LLC (“HNS”) notifies the
Commission of a minor correction to the geographic coordinates authorized under the licenses
for certain fixed earth station listed in Attachment A. As indicated in Attachment A, the
corrected earth station locations are either (i) within one second (with respect to spectrum shared
with terrestrial systems) or (ii) within 10 seconds (with respect to spectrum not shared with
terrestrial systems), in latitude or longitude away from their originally authorized geographic
coordinates, thus qualifying under 47 C.F.R. § 25.118(a)(4)(vi) as permitted changes not
requiring prior Commission approval.

During a review of its licensing records, HNS recently determined that the subject earth
station antennas had been inadvertently installed less than one second in latitude or longitude
away from their authorized geographic coordinates. Accordingly, HNS requests a waiver, to the
extent required, of 47 C.F.R. § 25.118(a)’s requirement to file a notification within 30 days of a
permitted change from the originally authorized geographic coordinates. A waiver of the
Commission’s rules is warranted upon a showing of “good cause,”1 and may be granted if it
“would not undermine the policy objective of the rule in question and would otherwise serve the
public interest.”2 Here, grant of the requested waiver is consistent with the apparent underlying
policy objectives to maintain the accuracy of the Commission’s licensing records and allow
licensees some flexibility in operating their earth stations without causing harmful interference to
other authorized users. HNS to date has not received any complaints of harmful interference
resulting from operations at the existing earth station locations, and any lack of notification to the
Commission of the minor change in earth station location has not resulted in any apparent harm.
The requested waiver grant also will serve the public interest by allowing existing earth station
operations to continue without service interruptions. Thus, grant of the requested waiver is
warranted here.
