                                   Hagerstown, Maryland C—band Earth Station KA264

            Dear Ms. Dortch:

            Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary
            Authority ("STA")‘ for 60 days, commencing upon grant, to utilize its
            Hagerstown, Maryland C-bandmo grant of
            permanent operating authority. The anten                  inicate in the
            frequency ban                                  and5925—6425with the U.S.—licensed
                                               Intelsat has a pending application for
            authority to use this antenna to communicate with U.S.—licensed satellites in
            these bands on a permanent basis.

            In support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference its pending
            application for authority to use this antenna to transmit to this satellite on a
            permanent basis." The application contains detailed technical information (in
            Wat 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 facility. In the extremely unlikely
            event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable
            steps to eliminate the interference.




            ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 filing fee
            and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing
            System ("IBFS").
            > Intelsat has a pending modification application to authorize its use of KA264
            after the antenna‘s relocation from Clarksburg, Maryland to Hagerstown,
            Maryland. See Intelsat License LLC Request for Modification of KA264
            License, File No. SES—MOD—20130117—00057 (filed Jan. 16, 2013). Although
            that application seeks authority for the earth station to operate in extended
            bands, Intelsat seeks in this STA request only to operate in the conventional C—
            band.
