12. Description

SES respectfully requests a 60—day extension of the STA to use the 9M antenna on E000152 to
perform TT&C only with NSS—806 to maintain the satellite at 47.5W.           The FCC has previously granted
an STA for use of this antenna to perform such TT&C operations          (see File Nos.   SES—STA—20130912—
00793,   SES—STA—20131023—00886),   but due to an oversight,   a request    for extension of this STA was
not filed in advance of its expiration date, November 28,       2013.    Grant of this STA is in the
public interest as it will facilitate safe operation of NSS—806.           All operations will be performed
on a non—interference,   non—protected basis,   and on the same terms as the previously granted STA.
