                                       Attachment 1

                Application for Earth Station Special Temporary Authority

        NBC Telemundo License Co. (“NBC”) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority
(“STA”) to permit continued operations of Earth Station E000129 (the “Station”) in accordance
with the technical parameters of license E000129, File Number: SES-LIC-20000313-00407.
Due to an administrative oversight, the renewal application was not timely filed with the
Commission, necessitating this request for Special Temporary Authority to prevent an
interruption of service while the concurrently filed Renewal Application and accompanying
Petition for Reinstatement are reviewed and acted upon by the Commission.

        The station, located in South Hackensack, New Jersey, is the primary path for NBC’s
satellite feed from 30 Rockefeller Plaza (the company’s headquarters) to its News Channel
and, as such, is a vital link for the network. It has consistently been operated pursuant to
Commission Rules and Regulations.

       NBC regrets the inadvertent administrative error that caused this delay in filing.
Specifically, the expiration date was mistyped on an internal docketing system. When it
came to the company’s attention, action was taken immediately to rectify the error,
including filing the required renewal application and this STA within two days of the
expiration date and within the 30-day period provided in 47 CFR § 25.163(a)(1) of the
Commission’s Rules. NBC is reviewing the internal docket to ensure that future deadlines are
correctly entered.

      In light of the considerations above, we believe the public interest would be served by
approval of this STA request to continue operation of E000129.
