Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 18, 2010 Page 2 In further support of this request, PanAmSat is attaching Exhibit A, which contains technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility. PanAmSat notes that although it has coordinated a power level of 34 dBW, it expects to operate within the 26.5 dBW maximum level permitted by the FCC. A higher power level will only be used in case of emergency. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, PanAmSat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. ' ‘ Grant of this STA request will enable PanAmSat to help launch the SES—1 satellite. This will serve the public interest by ensuring continuity of service at the satellite‘s permanent location of 101.0° W.L. Please direct any qliestions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. Respectfully submitted, Susan H.
