        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, seeks Commission consideration for a
Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to test an earth station at a the Bollinger Shipyard located
at 806 Bollinger Lane, Amelia, LA 70340 (29° 38‘ 31.9" N, 91° 6° 44.1" W).

        Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Regulations, in "cireumstances requiring ...
temporary use offacilities, request may be made for special temporary authority to install and/or
operate new or modified equipment." In addition, according to Section 25.120(b)(4) of the
Regulations, the Commission may grant temporary authorization for a period not to exceed 30
days, if the STA request has not been placed on public notice, and an application for regular
authority is not contemplated.

         In the instance case, the STA request has not been placed on public notice and CapRock
does not plan to file an application for regular authority. The proposed antenna will be tested and
"burned in" for a period of 30 days before being deployed offshore Angola. An STA under these
conditions is contemplated by the Regulations due to "cireumstances requiring ... temporary use
of facilities." An application for regular authority is not submitted because the permanent
location will be under the jurisdiction of Angola. Therefore, CapRock respectfully requests an
STA for a period not to exceed 30 days. The planned satellite is IS—707 (53.0 degrees West).

        CapRock believes that the granting of this STA is in the public interest and that delay in
the institution of these temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest. In
order to ensure service, the requested STA date is June 8, 2009. 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
