      PANAMSAT LICENSEE CORP.

SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY REQUEST

         EARTH STATION KL92

 TERRESTAR—1 SATELLITE LEOP SERVICES




                                MAY 29, 2009


                                       Exhibit A
                            SECTIONS 25.137 AND 25.114
        The legal and technical qualifications of the TerreStar—1 satellite have already
been submitted to the Commission and are included herein by reference. Specifically, the
legal information requestedin Section 25.137 and the technical information requested in
Section 25.114, including the Schedule S information, for the TerreStar—1 satellite can be
found in TMI Communications and Company, Limited Partnership, Letter ofIntent to
Provide Mobile—Satellite Service in the 2 GHz Bands, File Nos. SAT—LOI—19970926—
00161 and SAT—AMD—20001103—00158 and TerreStar Networks Inc. Application for
 Modification ofLeiter ofIntent Authorization, File.No. SAT—MOD—20070529—00075.

        To the extent necessary, however, PanAmSatrespectfully requests a waiver of the
need to provide additional technical information under Section 25.114 of the
Commission‘s rules for its pro2posed LEOP services.‘ The Commission may grant a
waiver for good cause shown." The Commission typically grants a waiver where the
pamcular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public interest." In granting
a waiver, the Commission may take into account considerations of hardshlp, equ1ty, or
more effective implementation of overall policy on an individual basis.* Waiver is
therefore appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule,
and such a deviation will serve the public interest.

        In this case, good cause exists for a waiver of Section 25.114. PanAmSat has
provided in this STA request the technical information that is relevant to the LEOP
services for which PanAmSat seeks authorization. The remainder of the information
sought bySection 25.114 is not required to determine potential harmful interference
because PanAmSat will perform the LEOP services on a non—interference basis. Nor is it
required to protect adjacent satellites because, as noted in the STA request, the LEOP
services have been coordinated with operators with co—frequency satellites that are in the
LEOP path. In the special circumstance of LEOP services, waiver of the need to provide
additional technical information under Section 25.114 serves the public interest.
