Ms. Marlene H. Dortch February 2, 2012 Page 2 Grant of this STA extension will serve the public interest because it will continue to allow the drift of the DIRECTV 1R satellite and will allow its safe station—keepingonce on—station. In addition, grant will allow the Commission additional time in which to consider Intelsat‘s pending application for permanent authority for this earth station. Moreover, grant ofthis STA extension request will not result in increased risk of harmful interference to any other system. As noted in the original STA request, Intelsat‘s earth station is already authorized to provide TT&C services using the frequencies needed for the drift of DIRECTV 1R. Intelsat will continue to operate the TT&C transmissions within the coordinated parameters in the earth station‘s license. In addition, DIRECTV has stated that it will coordinate with potentially affected satellite operators." As such, co—frequency operations of other satellite operators will not be affected. Please direct any questions regarding this STA extension request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. Respectfully submitted, (C2AmAC129 ~Susan H.
