12. Description. This is an application to further extend the special temporary authority granted in SES-STA-20060303-00020 (originally granted in SES-STA-20050701-00862, extended by SES-STA-20050805-01045, SES-STA-20050826-01179, SES-STA-20051005-01370, SES-STA-20051102-01501, SES-STA-20051206-01689, SES-STA-20060303-00020) for an additional 30 days. This will allow E020306 to continue to operate in conjunction with EchoStar 4 at 77 W.L. EchoStar has recounted the public interest benefits of operating EchoStar 4 at 77 W.L. in File Nos. SAT-STA-20050321-00068, SES-MFS-20050527-00662, and SES-LFS-20050701-00852. These applications seek Commission approval to move EchoStar 4 to 77 W.L. where it would operate as a Mexican licensed satellite and blanket earth station authority to allow EchoStar 4 at 77 W.L. to provide service into the U.S. These applications are currently pending before the Commission.

13. By checking Yes, the undersigned certifies that neither applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. See 47 CFR 1.2002(b) for the meaning of "party to the application" for these purposes.
