Attachment 1 PetroCom License Corporation Application for Earth Station Special Temporary Authority JUSTIFICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY PettoCom License Corporation (‘PetroCom") pursuant to the provisions of Section 25.120(b)3) of the rules and regulations ofthe Federal Communications Commission (‘FCCor "Commission®) hercby requests thatthe Commission grant it special temporary authority (°STA®), for a period of sixty (60) days, beginaing July 19, 2006, to operate a satellte earth station (the "Station") on an oil pltform designated CA—20B in the Gulfof Mexico (the "Platform") prioto Commission processing of the application secking permanent authorization ofthe Station." PettoCom is a provider ofcellular telephone communications services in the Gulfof Mexico. PetroCom uses a series ofsatellite faclities to back—haul the cellular traffic generated on its network. Accordingly, PetroCom‘s abiltyto use satlliteearth station facilites is criical to ts ability to provide cellular communications services, and critical to the customers that rely on the availability of ellular servicein the Gulf of Mexico. PetroCom‘s customers in the Gulf of Mexico are principally energy, oil and gas companies. The Station will allow PetroCom to provide digital voice and data services to Platform personnel through the use of PetroCom‘s cellular system. ECC issuance of temporary authority will allow PetroCom to test and begin to provide criical voice and data services to the Platform within the coordinated parameters of the proposed operations. Because the Station will be the primary means of wireless communications on the Platform, delaying testing until authorization poses a risk t the safety and health of personnel onboard as well as to the environment in the event of an emergency. Customers use PetroCom‘s communications network for a variety ofpurposes, including protecting the security ofoil and natural gas facilities and operations from any potentil threats. As a result, the proposed facilitieswill erve to improve homeland security by providing more reliable crtical communications coverage where PetroCom does not provide service today. Hurricanes Katrina and Rite provide recent examples highlighting the significance of adequate testing and expedited deployment ofcommunications services. Accordingly,the FCC is requested to isue STA to PetroCom, effective July 19, 2006, for a period ofsity (60) days, so thatit may test and provide communications services to personnel on the Platform. Ifthere are any questions regarding this STA request,the FCC is asked to contact communications counsel for PetroCom, Russell H.
