            Re:   E090203 — Request for Special Temporary Authority —

Dear Mr. Peace:

        On behalf of Educational Media Foundation ("EMF"), applicant for new earth station
E090203 ("EMF Earth Station"), and pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Rules and Regulations
(‘Regulations") of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission"), this letter is
being submitted to the Commission to request a 60 day Special Temporary Authority ("STA")
to start satellite operations in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 1, 2009 while its permanent
FSS Ku—band application (SES—LIC—INTR2009—07090/E090203) is currently pending with the
Commission.

        Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Regulations, in "circumstances requiring ...
temporary use offacilities, request may be madefor special temporary authority to install and/or
operate new or modified equipment."        EMF currently produces its ‘K—LOVE‘ and ‘Air 1‘
network programming in Rocklin, California and recently made plans to move its morning show
programming production to Indianapolis with commencement of operations on December 1,
2009. To distribute the programming from Indianapolis, one of the two programming networks
will use EMF‘s existing CONUS uplink license but the requested satellite uplink is necessary to
ensure the remaining network can feed numerous EMF stations around the country on and after
December 1, 2009.             The instant STA request is in the public interest because it will ensure
uninterrupted service to hundreds of EMF stations around the country.

       Enclosed is an Anti—Drug Abuse Act Certification executed on behalf of the licensee.
Because EMF is a noncommercial educational licensee, no filing fee is required. Pursuant to
Section 25.120, a copy of this request has been sent to:
