Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 To: International Bureau, Satellite Division Re: SES—STA—20070612—00794 (Call Sign KB34) Dear Ms. Dortch: At the request of the International Bureau, Telenor Satellite, Inc. (TSI) submits the following revised information describing the extraordinary circumstances that justify grant of the above—referenced request for Special Temporary Authority (STA). TSI has an urgent customer requirement from a company that provides U.S. farmers with a GPS correction capability that greatly enhances the accuracy of GPS signals. This information is fed to an "auto steer" capability on tractors, and farmers then use this capability to manage more precisely the harvesting of their crops. We are now entering the start of a critical harvest season, so our customer is anxious to begin service no later than September 1. We believe that these circumstances satisfy the substantive public interest standards for an STA as set forth in Section 25.120 (b)(1) of the Commission‘s Rules. The service that TSI seeks to provide to this customer is a leased service, and Inmarsat provides leased services in the desired coverage area only on the Inmarsat 3F4 satellite at 142° WL. The 10.4m antenna that is the subject of this STA request is the only available TSI antenna that can operate with the 3F4 satellite to provide this service. Accordingly, an STA is necessary. TSI has other customers, including important U.S. government customers that wish to obtain leased services on the 3F4 satellite. However, none of these customers has a desired September 1 start date. Therefore, in order to facilitate the prompt approval of this STA request, TSI is willing to accept a grant that is limited to the technical parameters required to provide service to the commercial customer listed above. Those parameters are as follows: Frequencies: 6417.5 MHz —6456.7 MHz (transmit) 3600.00 MHz —3631.5 MHz (receive) Maximum EIRP per Carrier: 52.3 dBW Emission Designators: 1K65G2D

In light of the foregoing, TSI respectfully requests that this STA request be granted in time to allow TSI to provide service to its customer no later than September 1, 2007. Respectfully submitted, alntw : Ewarg—— Robert W. Swanson Associate Counsel 301—838—7807 robert.swanson@telenor—usa.com ce: Frank Peace (via electronic delivery)
