           Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a 60—day further extension ——
           through October 31, 2013 —— of the Special Temporary Authority ("sTAa")‘
           previously granted Intelsat to utilize its Hagerstown, Maryland C—band earth
           station KA264 prior to grant of permanent operating authority." The antenna

           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
           Exhibit B that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will
