       Re: August 7,2008 Requests for Special Temporary Authority for KA288,
       E990448 and E4630

Dear Mr. Kotler:

In an e—mail to Jim Barker of SES Americom dated August 8, 2008, you indicated that
some ofthe parameters on the authorization are not two—degree compliant and requested
supplementary information identifying the specific emissions, EIRP, and EIRP density
that will be used.

We have reviewed the file numbers: SES—STA—20080807—01040 (KA288); SES—STA—
20080807—01041 (E990448); and SES—STA—20080807—01042 (E4630). The power
densities indicate the transmit capability of these earth stations but do not indicate the
actual operational parameters. The earth stations will be operated in accordance with the
Commission‘s Part 25 Rules and coordination agreements that SES Americom has
developed with the adjacentsatellite operators. In this particular case SES will be
operating the AMC—21 power density levels as follows:

   e   TT&C. Satellite operators operate their TT&C carriers outside the satellite
       communications payload frequency band as specified by the FCC (i.e., at "the
       band edges"). Therefore, these are operated by satellite operators at higher levels
       than the power densities specified in Part 25. Furthermore, satellite operators
       insure that their TT&C frequencies are diverse or cross—pol to those ofthe
       adjacent satellite networks. The operational levels for the AMC—21 will be:
       UPLINK max 86 dBW bandwidth 300 to 1500KHz depending on modulation
       deviation and subcarriers.

   ©   IOT operations at 136° W.L. There are no standard Ku—band satellites within 6
       degrees of the 125° W.L. In addition, SES Americom has an understanding for
       IOT testing procedures with the other satellite operators. IOT testing will be
                                                                         /

       performed with CW carriers with the transmit Earthstations transmitting at the
       following EIRPmax level: 86dBW.

   ®   Normal communications operations. Satellite payload transponders at 125° W.L.
       will be in accordance with the Commission‘s Part 25 Rules and coordination
       agreements that SES Americom has developed with the adjacent satellite
       operators.

SES Americom operates in accordance with Commission rules. We hope this resolves
any questions that you might have. Please contact me should you have other questions.

                                            Very best regards,
