SECTION 3507.

Exhibit A PETITION FOR WAIVER OF SECTIONS 25.137 AND 25.114 Pursuant to Section 25.137 of the Federal Communications Commission‘s ("Commission" or "FCC") rules, earth station applicants "requesting authority to operate with a non—U.S. licensed space station to serve the United States" must demonstrate that effective competitive opportunities exist and must provide the same technical information required by Section 25.114 for U.S.—licensed space stations.‘ Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein seeks authority to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services —— not commercial services —— to the United States, and thus believes that Section 25.137 does not apply. To the extent the Commission determines, however, that Intelsat‘s request for authority to provide LEOP services on a special temporary basis is a request to serve the United States with a non U.S.—licensed satellite, Intelsat respectfully requests a waiver of Sections 25.137 and 25.114 of the Commission‘s rules." The Commission may grant a waiver for good cause shown." The Commission typically grants a waiver where the particular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public interest.* In granting a waiver, the Commission may take into account considerations of hardship, equity, or more effective implementation of overall policy on an individual basis." Waiver is therefore appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule, and such a deviation will serve the public interest. In this case, good cause exists for a waiver of both Section 25.137 and Section 25.114. With respect to Section 25.114, Intelsat seeks authority only to provide LEOP services for the Hylas 2 satellite. The information sought by Section 25.114 is not relevant to LEOP services. Moreover, Intelsat does not have such information because Intelsat is not the operator of the Hylas 2 satellite. Rather, an affiliate of Intelsat has a contract with Orbital Sciences, the manufacturer and operator of the Hylas 2 satellite, to conduct LEOP services for the satellite. The information that Intelsat is not including is not required to determine potential harmful interference. The Schedule S information for this satellite would pertain to the operation of the Hylas 2 satellite at its final orbital location. However, the present application for LEOP services involves communications prior to the satellite attaining its final location in the geostationary orbit. In other words, during the LEOP mission, the earth station will not be communicating with a satellite located in the geostationary orbit. Rather, it will be transmitting to a satellite traveling on its "transfer orbit" or "LEOP ‘ 47 C.F.R. § 25.137 (emphasis added). 2 47 CFR. §§ 25.137 and 25.114. 3 47 C.F.R. §1.3. * N.E. Cellular Tel. Co. v. FCC, 897 F.2d 1164, 1166 (D.C. Cir. 1990) ("Northeast Cellular®). | ° WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.24 1153, 1159 (D.C.’Cir. 1969); Northeast Cellular, 897 F.2d at 1166. —

path", which starts immediately following its separation from a launch vehicle, and ends when the satellite reaches its geostationary orbital location. Moreover, as with any STA, Intelsat will perform the LEOP services on a non—interference basis. Because it is not relevant to the service for which Intelsat seeks authorization, and because Intelsat does not possess the information, Intelsat seeks a waiver of all the information required by Section 25.114. Intelsat has provided in this STA request the required technical information that is relevant to the LEOP services for which Intelsat seeks authorization. Good cause also exists to waive Section 25.137. Section 25.137 is designed to ensure that "U.S.—licensed satellite systems have effective competitive opportunities to provide analogous services" in other countries. Here, there is no service being provided by the satellite; it is simply being placed in its orbital location after separating from the launch vehicle. Thus, the purpose of the information required by Section 25.137 is not implicated here. For example, Section 25.137(d) requires earth station applicants requesting authority to operate with a non—U.S.—licensed space station that is not in orbit and operating to post a bond.° The underlying purpose in having to post a bond—i.e., to prevent warehousing of orbital locations by operators seeking to serve the United States—would not be served by requiring Intelsat to post a bond in order to provide approximately ten days of LEOP services to the Hylas 2 satellite. It is Intelsat‘s understanding that Hylas 2 is licensed by the United Kingdom, which is a WTO—member country. It is also Intelsat‘s understanding that Hylas 2 will not serve the United States. Thus, the purposes of Section 25.137—to ensure that U.S. satellite operators enjoy "effective competitive opportunities" to serve foreign markets and to prevent warehousing of orbital locations serving the United States—will not be undermined by grant of this waiver request. Finally, Intelsat notes that it expects to operate with the Hylas 2 satellite using its U.S. earth station for a period of approximately ten days. Requiring Intelsat to obtain copious technical and legal information from an unrelated party, where there is no risk of harmful interference and the operations will cease after approximately ten days, would pose undue hardship without serving underlying policy objectives. Given these particular facts, the waiver sought herein is plainly appropriate. ° See 47 C.F.R. §25.137(d)(4).

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Fillmore, California Earth Station E4132 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for 30 days, from August 2, 2012 through August 31, 2012, to use its Fillmore, California C—band earth station —— call sign E4132 —— to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services to the Hylas 2 satellite that is expected to be launched on August 2, 2012." The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 10 days." The Hylas 2 LEOP operations will be performed in the following frequency bands: Uplink: 6723.75 MHz and 7026.25 MHz (LHCP); and Downlink: 4198.0 MHz and 4199.0 MHz (RHCP) The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path. All operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. The 24x7 contact information for the Hylas 2 LEOP mission is as follows: ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). > It is Intelsat‘s understanding that the satellite‘s permanent orbital location will be between 30.0° and 66.0° E.L. It will be in—orbit tested at 31.0° E.L. * Intelsat is seeking authority through August 31, 2012 to accommodate a possible launch delay.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch July 17, 2012 Page 2 Ph.: (202) 944—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5900 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this request, Intelsat is attaching Exhibits A and B, which contain a waiver request, as well as 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. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due totransmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference, Intelsat also notes that for purposes of the Hylas 2 LEOP mission, it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 26.5 dBW. The technical information submitted with the STA request reflects a power level as high as 34 dBW because that is the level at which Intelsat might operate in the event an emergency necessitates the use of a higher power level in order to command the satellite. Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to help launch the Hylas 2 satellite. This will serve the public interest by ensuring that it can bring additional capacity to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. Respectfully submitted, CA.A 2Q_ Susan H.
