Attachment 1 PetroCom License Corporation Application for Earth Station Special Temporary Authority JUSTIFICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY PetroCom License Corporation ("PetroCom"), pursuant to the provisions of Section 25.120 of the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") hereby requests that the FCC grant it special temporary authority ("STA"), for a period of thirty (30) days, beginning on July 28, 2007, to operate the facilities associated with the satellite earth station (the "Station") described in the attached technical description, for testing purposes only. PetroCom will ultimately operate the Station from the Tahiti oil production platform (the "Platform") in the Gulf of Mexico (the "Gulf") owned by Chevron. The Station will allow PetroCom to provide service to Chevron. The Station will permit Chevron to communicate from the Platform to Chevron personnel on shore. It is anticipated that the Station will be shipped to the Platform within sixty (60) days of grant of STA. PetroCom has applied for authority to operate the Station on a permanent basis from the Platform." The FCC previously issued STA to PetroCom covering the interim operation of this station for testing purposes, but testing is not yet complete and the Station is not yet ready to be shipped to the Platform.*‘ As the FCC has recognized by granting PetroCom STA for testing purposes under similar conditions, prior to shipping the Station to the Platform and deploying the Station on the Platform, it is necessary for PetroCom to test the Station at a shipyard in Ingleside, Texas." By testing the Station before it is deployed in the Gulf, PetroCom will be able to ensure its proper functioning prior to shipment. Once the Station is shipped to the Platform it will be the principal source of communications from the Platform. Because the Station will be the primary means of communications on the Platform, testing after the installation of the Station poses a risk to the safety and health of personnel onboard as well as to the environment, in the event of an incident requiring intervention. With testing verified at the shipyard in Ingleside, communications will be available immediately once the Station is installed. Accordingly, testing of the Station at the shipyard location is necessary before the Station is transported to the Platform in the Gulf. STA under these conditions is contemplated by Section 25.120(a) of the FCC‘s rules, which states that STA may be requested for "circumstances requiring...temporary use of facilities." It would be inefficient for the FCC to process an V See PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES—LIC—20070622—00852, Callsign EO70119 {filed June 22, 2007). 2 See PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES—STA—20070626—00871 (granted June 27, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES—STA—20070524—00719 (granted May 25, 2007); PetroCom License Corporation, FCC File No. SES—STA—20070424—00513 (granted April 27, 2007).

application for permanent authorization for the Station at the shipyard facility, because of the limited duration at which the Station will be located there. Accordingly, the FCC is requested to issue STA to PetroCom, effective July 28, 2007, for a period of thirty (30) days, so that it may test the Station on land before it is deployed to the Platform in the Gulf. If there are any questions regarding this STA request, the FCC is asked to contact communications counsel for PetroCom, Russell H. Fox of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 202—434—7483, rfox@mintz.com.
