Magallanes August 20, 2007 Scott Kotler, Chief System Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Dear Mr. Kotler: Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Rules and Regulations ("Regulations") of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission"), CapRock Communications, Inc. ("CapRock"), by way of the underlying application submitted by the undersigned, seeks Commission consideration for a Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to increase the EIRP of an earth station located the Gulf of Mexico, The earth station at issue has an FCC file designation of SES—L1C20050712—00889 and call sign of EO50206. The proposed C—band earth, as modified, station will exhibit a maximum power density at the flange of ~22.14 dBW/A4KHz which is 19.44 dB below the maximum allowed of —2.7dBW/4KHz. In addition, there has been a preliminary interference study performed on this site with no anticipated harmful interference cases. Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Regulations, the Commission may grant temporary authority for a period not to exceed 60 days, if the STA request has not been placed on public notice, and the applicant plans to file a request for regular authority for the service. In the instant case, the STA request has not been placed on public notice and CapRock plans to file an application for madification. Therefore, CapRock respectfully requests an STA for a period not to exceed 60 days. The circuit at issue is the customer‘s only means of communication. In order to insure uninterrupted service, the requested date for prior use is August 27. 2007. In accordance to Section 25.120(a) of the Regulations, this STA is being filed at least 3 working days prior to the date of proposed operation. Sincerely, /s/ Raul Magallanes Attorney P.G.

Jeannette Spriggs System Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12" Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority, EO50206, SES—STA—20070820—01110 Dear Ms. Spriggs: CapRock Communications, Inc. ("CapRock") would like to supplement the above—captioned filing for Special Temporary Authority Request (STA) with the public notice information added herein. According to Section 25.120 (b)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, "The Commission may grant a temporary authorization only upon a finding that there are extraordinary circumstances requiring temporary operations in the public interest and that delay in the institution of these temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest". In the instant case, CapRock requests an STA to increase the power and power density of an existing earth station installed at an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico ("The Earth Station"). This Earth Station is the primary means of communication for the platform. Due to increased personnel and increased demand for the platform operations, the Earth Station capacity has become insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary that the Earth Station power and power density be increased to accommodate the platform communications growth. The Earth Station, with the upgraded power, will exhibit a maximum power density at the flange of —22.14 dBW/AKHz which is 19.44 dB below the maximum allowed of —2.7dBW/4KHz. In addition, this location will complete frequency coordination next week and an application for permanent modification will be filed in due course. Therefore, no harmful interference to fixed systems or adjacent satellites is expected. Because of the nature of operations in this platform and the critical role of the existing Earth Station communications link, it is in the public interest that the Earth Station be upgraded with sufficient capacity to accommodate the critical calls that are placed by platform personnel. In addition, should there be an emergency in this platform, this Earth Station would be used to placed calls to communicate with the appropriate agencies. It is imperative that the communications link not be overloaded or has the potential for blocked calls in these circumstances. Sincerely, /s/ Raul Magallanes Attorney
