                    Application of ORBCOMM License Corp. for
                          Special Temporary Authorization

                  ORBCOMM St. Johns, AZ Gateway Earth Station
                          FCC Call Sign E940537


Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, ORBCOMM License Corp.
("ORBCOMM) respectfully requests a 60—day Special Temporary Authorization ("STA")
for the ORBCOMM Gateway Earth Station located at St. Johns, AZ (FCC Call Sign
E940537) (the "GES") to operate an additional 50 kHz feeder uplink channel centered at
150.025 MHz for communication with all satellites in the ORBCOMM satellite
constellation authorized under FCC Call Sign S2103. The parameters of operation for the
additional STA uplink channel will be identical to the currently authorized GES feeder
uplink channel at 149.61 MHz.

ORBCOMM requests the STA to allow for use of the additional uplink channel until
processing and grant of ORBCOMM‘s pending application to modify the regular
authorization for the GES to add the new 150.025 MHz uplink channel is completed. ‘
Issuance of the requested STA will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity
by allowing use of the new uplink channel for the earliest possible implementation of
required increases in throughput capacity and coverage for ORBCOMM satellite
constellation feeder link communications.




I      See, File No. SES—MOD—INTR2013—02142. It should also be noted that the
Commission has already modified the ORBCOMM Space Segment License (FCC Call
Sign $2103) to permit the operation of the additional 150.025 MHz feeder uplink channel
on all satellites in the ORBCOMM satellite constellation authorized under FCC Call Sign
$2103. See, Stamp Grant, Slip Op., File Nos. SAT—MOD—20111021—00207, SAT—AMD—
