            Re:         Request for Special Temporary Authority        —
                        Clarksburg, Maryland C—band Earth Station EO80011

 Dear Ms. Dortch:                                                         e

  Intelsat North America LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special
  Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, beginning February 26, 2010, to
  vtilize its Clarksburg, Maryland C—band earth station to communicate with the
  Dutch—licensed NSS—5 satellite at 20° W.L. The antenna will transmit in the
  frequency band 5925—6425 MHz and will receive in the frequency band 3700—
. 4200 MHz to/from NSS—5 at 20° W.L. Intelsat‘s license for the E080011
  antenna allows communications in these bands to an Intelsat satellite at this
 point of communication."

 Intelsat plans to use this antenna to support C—band customers on Intelsat 603
 that will temporarily transfer to the NSS—5 satellite upon the latter satellite‘s
 arrival at 20° W.L. As the Commission is aware, NSS—5 will soon replace
 Intelsat 603 at 20° W.L.* Because the NSS—5 satellite has not yet been granted
 U.S. market access, this STA request seeks authority for the E080011 earth
 station to communicate temporarily with a Dutch—licensed satellite. Intelsat
 incorporates herein by reference the market access showing made by New
 Skies Satellites B.V. in its market —access petition.*

 Grant of this STA request will not result in risk of harmful interference into
 any lawfully operating facility. The antenna will communicate with the NSS—5
 satellite in accordance with the technical parameters of its current license. In _


 ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $175.00 filing fee
 and this supporting letter electronically via the Internauonal Bureau‘s Fllmg
 System ("IBFS").      *                                                               —

 the extremely unlikely event that barmfual interference should occur, Intelsat
 will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. _

  Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat temporarily to relocate C—band
  customers currently operating on Intelsat 603 to the NSS—5 satellite, thus
  ensuring continuity of service to those customers. Grant of this STA request
  will thereby serve an immediate public interest. Moreover, the STA is only
  required for a brief period oftime. Intelsat plans to transition these customers .
— quickly off ofNSS—5 onto other Intelsat satellites operating at nearby orbital
  locations. Intelsat respectfully requests expeditious treatment of this request to
  preserve continuity of service for these customers at 20° W.L. until they can be
  transitioned to other satellites.
