12. Description This application seeks to extend the prior use special temporary authorization, originally granted November 18, 2013, in File Number SES—STA—20131030—00914, to communicate with ASTRA 3A for drift operation as the spacecraft is relocated to provide tracking, telemetry and command services (See File Number SES—MFS—20131030—00913). The current authority expires on December 18, 2013.

Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application by Hawaii Pacific Teleport, L.P. SES— For Special Temporary Authority to Communicate with ASTRA 3A to Perform TT&C On—Station at 176.85° W.L. REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY By this submission, Hawaii Pacific Teleport, L.P. ("HPT") respectfully requests earth station special temporary authority ("STA") for a period of 60 days, beginning on or about November 20, 2013, to permit HPT to utilize a new 8.1 meter Ku—band fixed transmit/receive antenna (to be added to the E030115 earth station license) to provide Tracking, Telemetry and Command ("TT&C") services temporarily as the ASTRA 3A spacecraft approaches and arrives on—station at 176.85° W.L. (+/— 0.10° east/west stationkeeping) after the spacecraft‘s planned relocation from its current position at 23.7° EL. to 176.85° W.L.‘ In support of this STA request, HPT is also attaching detailed technical information which demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference to any lawfully operating facility. ‘ HPT has also separately filed an application to modify Earth Station License EO30115 to add a new 8.1 meter antenna and to perform long—term TT&C of ASTRA 3A once it reaches 176.85° W.L. See Submission ID 1B2013002279. This new antenna will be located at 21 deg 20‘ 9.2" N, 158 deg 5‘ 18.1" W, which is within one are second of the geographic coordinates of the EO30115 license.

The Commission has already granted a number of earth station STAs to relocate and perform TT&C for the ASTRA 3A satellite at 176.85W." Grant of this additional STA will serve the public interest by ensuring safe operation of the satellite en route to and at that orbital location. I. STA REQUEST SES Americom, Inc.‘s ("SES Americom‘s") affiliate, SES ASTRA S.A. ("SES ASTRA")," has requested that SES Americom and HPT provide TT&C to support the planned relocation of ASTRA 3A to 176.85° W.L. Upon arrival at thé nominal 177° W.L. orbital location, ASTRA 3A will join the NSS—9 spacecraft and will operate in inclined orbit pursuant to an authorization from the Netherlands held by New Skies Satellites B.V. ("New Skies”).4 By separate application," SES Americom has requested STA for Call Sign E920698, which will be used for drift only, and Call Sign KA288, which will be used for drift and on—station TT&C at 176.85° W.L. At that orbital location, ASTRA 3A will provide commercial service in the Ku— 2 File Nos. SES—STA—20131023—00886, granted October 29, 2013; SES—STA—20130722—00653, granted September 26, 2013; SES—STA—20130722—00654 granted September 26, 2013; and SES— STA—20130912—00800 granted September 26, 2013. > SES ASTRA holds an authorization for the ASTRA 3A Ku—band spacecraft from the Luxembourg Ministry of State, Office of Media and Communications Ministére d‘ Etat, Service des Médias et des Communications of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. * The U.N. registration of the ASTRA 3A spacecraft will not change at 176.85° W.L. See Permanent Mission of Luxembourg, Note Verbale, A/AC.105/INF .412 (Dec. 5, 2005) (providing information for ASTRA 3A to the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space in conformity with General Assembly resolution 1721 B (XVI) by States launching objects into orbit or beyond). SES Americom, SES ASTRA and New Skies are all wholly owned affiliates of SES S.A. (°SES") 5 File No. SES—STA—20130722—00654 (granted September 26, 2013) ("SES STA Application").

band frequencies to eastern Russia." Once ASTRA 34 is on—station at 176.85W, TT&C will be performed by two U.S. earth stations: (1) the KA288 earth station in Somis, California, operated by SES Americom, and (2) an earth station in Kapolei, Hawaii,operated by HPT. HPT‘s application is limited to a request for special temporary authority ("STA") to use E030115 to perform TT&C with ASTRA 3A using certain Ku—band frequencies. HPT is not seeking U.S. market access or any other authorization from the Commission in relation to the non—U.S.—licensed ASTRA 3A spacecraft, and therefore is not providing full technical information about the ASTRA 3A satellite as part of this request.‘ However, details regarding the ASTRA 3A TT&C operations, including link budgets and interference analysis, are available in Attachment 1 to SES Americom‘s STA request application." A basic technical description of the satellite‘s proposed operations over eastern Russia, and an orbital debris mitigation statement for ASTRA 3A, are also available as Attachment 2 and Attachment 3 of the SES STA Application, respectively, for the Commission‘s information." As discussed below, communications with ASTRA 3A will not adversely affect the operation of any adjacent satellites. Relocation of ASTRA 3A is scheduled to begin later this year, and HPT seeks action on this request no later than November 20, 2013, to accommodate that schedule. ASTRA 3A is expected to remain at 176.85° W.L. until its projected end—of—life. ° ASTRA 3A will provide service to eastern Russia using the 11.45—11.7 GHz and 12.5—12.75 GHz space—to—Earth (downlink) bands and the 14.0—14.5 GHz Earth—to—space (uplink) bands. " See Waiver Requests, infra. 8 See SES STA Application. ° Id.

Grant ofSTAs Will Serve the Public Interest. Grant of this STA request is in the public interest. The requested TT&C authority will facilitate the safe operation of ASTRA 3A during relocation of the spacecraft and on—station at 176.85° W.L. | No Harmful Interference to Other Spacecraft. TT&C transmissions during drift of ASTRA 3A will be on a non—harmful interference basis. The drift of the spacecraft will be coordinated with other satellite operators consistent with industry practice."" At 176.85° W.L., the nearest Ku—band satellite (Intelsat 18) is more than three degrees away at 180° W.L. Accordingly, the proposed use of large, two—degree—spacing compliant earth stations to perform TT&C with ASTRA 3A at 176.85° W.L. poses no risk of harmful interference to adjacent satellites."‘ IL. WAIVER REQUESTS HPT requests limited waivefs of the Commission‘s requirements in connection with the instant STA request. Grant of these waivers is consistent with Commission policy and is consistent with requests made by SES in its STA request: The Commission may waive a rule for good cause shown. Waiver is appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule and such deviation would better serve the public interest than would strict adherence to the general rule. Generally, the Commission may grant a waiver of its rules in a particular case if the relief requested would not undermine the policy objective of the rule in question and would otherwise serve the public interest." The 24/7 point of contact for the proposed ASTRA 3A operations is the SES Payload Management Operations Centre (PMOC) in Woodbine, MD, 1—800—772—2363 or 1—410—970— 7570; e—mail: PMOC@ses.com. " See SES STA Application, Attachment 1. * PanAmSat Licensee Corp., 17 FCC Red 10483, 10492 (Sat. Div. 2002) (footnotes omitted).

The Commission has granted identical waivers in connection with SES‘s eérth station STA requests for the relocation of ASTRA 3A to 176.85W after full public notice and opportunity for comment. (File Nos. SES—STA—20131023—00886, granted October 29, 2013; SES—STA—20130722—00653, granted September 26, 2013; SES—STA—20130722—00654 granted September 26, 2013; and SES—STA—20130912—00800 granted September 26, 20i3.) Sections 25.137 and 25.114. HPT requests a waiver of Section 25.137 and the other Commission rules cross—referenced therein. HPT seeks special temporary authority in connection with TT&C for ASTRA 3A, a foreign—licensed spacecraft. Section 25.137 requires that applicants proposing to use U.S.—licensed earth stations to communicate with foreign— licensed spacecraft demonstrate that the Commission‘s policies for U.S. market access are satisfied. Section 25.137 also incorporates by reference other requirements for Commission— licensed space stations, including the obligation to file detailed technical information as specified in Section 25.114. By its terms, Section 25.137 is inapplicable to the instant STA request. The rule‘s requirements come into play only when a non—U.S.—licensed satellite is to be used to "serve the United States."" Here, the HPT earth station will be used solely for TT&C, not for commercial operations. Thus, HPT is not seeking to have its earth station communicate with ASTRA 3A for purposes of providing U.S. service within the meaning of Section 25.137. To the extent the Commission disagrees, HPT requests a waiver of the market access and other requirements imposed by Section 25.137. Grant of a waiver will not undermine the objectives of these requirements. The market access test described in the rule is intended to 9 47 C.F.R. § 25.137(a).

ensure that U.S.—licensed systems have "effective competitive opportunities.""" Because HPT is not seeking authority to provide commercial services in the United States, the requested STA does not raise any concerns about competitive equality."" Strict adherence with Section 25.114‘s requirements for detailed technical information is also unnecessary and would be unduly burdensome. HPT is proposing only to use the earth station for the limited purpose of TT&C during on—station operations of the spacecraft at 176.85° W.L, and the relevant technical characteristics of those transmissions are described in SES Americom‘s corresponding application. The planned drift will be coordinated with nearby satellite operators, consistent with industry practice, and transmissions to the spacecraft will be conducted on a non—harmful interference basis. Upon arrival on—station, the spacecraft will be used to provide service outside the United States. In these circumstances, no valid purpose would be served by requiring a complete technical description of the ASTRA 3A spacecraft. HPT‘s request is consistent with Commission precedent. In similar cases in which limited communications by U.S. earth stations with a foreign—licensed satellite were proposed, the Commission has granted STA without requiring a market access showing under Section 25.137 or full technical data as required by Section 25.114."" Section 2.106 Footnote NG104 and Section 25.202(a)(1) Footnote 2. To the extent that reception of telemetry at 11450.25 MHz and 11699.50 MHz constitutes a domestic (i.e., non— 4 1. In any event, the ASTRA 3A spacecraft at 176.85° W.L. will be operating under the authority of the Netherlands, a WTO member country, and therefore is exempt from the requirement to make a showing of effective competitive opportunities. 47 C.F.R. § 25.137(a)(2). 16 See, e.g., PanAmSat Licensee Corp., File Nos. SES—STA—20090922—01211 (Call Sign E4132) & SES—STA—20090922—01212 (Call Sign EQO40125), both grant—stamped Oct. 16, 2009 (granting authority for earth stations to communicate with foreign—licensed NSS—12 spacecraft for purposes of providing launch and early operations services).

international) service, HPT respectfully requests a limited waiver of the international—service— only restriction.‘"‘ Such a waiver is warranted in the circumstances for the limited purpose of TT&C. As the Commission has recognized, TT&C operations generally require uplink and downlink capability from the same earth station. For this reason, the Commission has previously granted waivers of the international service restriction to enable TT&C to be performed in the U.S. using the extended Ku—band frequencies." Grant of the requested waiver would not undermine the purpose of the restriction, which is to ensure that earth station deployments in the extended Ku—band do not negatively impact the deployment of fixed service ("FS") in the same band or cause interference to such operations. The telemetry downlink from ASTRA 3A in the extended Ku—band is narrow in bandwidth, and will comply with the power flux density limits in the Commission‘s rules and, thus, will not interfere with FS station operations. Moreover, only a small number of U.S. earth stations will be used to perform TT&C in the extended Ku—band." Once ASTRA 3A is on—station at 176.85W, TT&C will be performed by two U.S. earth stations: (1) the KA288 earth station in South Mountain, California, operated by SES Americom, and (2) the EO30115 earth statior; in Honolulu, Hawaii, operated by HPT pursuant to the instant STA request. As a result, there will be no significant restrictions placed on the deployment of FS in this band.

See EchoStar 83W Order at 16 ("The Commission has waived this [NG104] requirement where the number of potential earth stations in a particular service is inherently small."); EchoStar 109W Order at 16 (same); EchoStar 121 W Order at 17 (same).

Section 25.210(J). The ASTRA 3A satellite is authorized by the Netherlands to operate at 176.85° W.L. within a +/— 0.10° east/west stationkeeping box. To the extent necessary, HPT respectfully requests a waiver of Section 25.210(J) of the Commission‘s rules, which requires geostationary space stations to be operated within a +/— 0.05° east/west stationkeeping box. The Commission has previously waived this rule based on a finding that allowing an increased stationkeeping volume would "not adversely affect the operations of other spacecraft, and would conserve fuel for future operations.""" The facts here fit squarely within this precedent. Allowing ASTRA 3A to be maintained within an increased stationkeeping volume will not harm other operators. ASTRA 3A‘s stationkeeping volume will not overlap with that of any other satellites. In addition, allowing ASTRA 3A to be flown at 176.85° W.L. in an expanded east—west stationkeeping volume of +/— 0.1 degrees will result in fuel savings for the spacecraft. This will prolong the time during which ASTRA 3A will be available to provide service to eastern Russia. Under these circumstances, grant of any necessary waiver of Section 25.210(J) will serve the public interest. III. CERTIFICATION HPT hereby certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. § 862. * See File Nos. SAT—MOD—20080124—00030 & SAT—AMD—20080311—00070, grant—stamped May 19, 2008, Attachment at « 1.

IV. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, HPT respectfully requests special temporary authority ("STA") for E030115 to communicate with ASTRA 3A for a period of up to 60 days in order to provide TT&C during relocation of the satellite and once it is on—station, as described herein. Grant of the requested authority will promote safe operation of the satellite during its relocation. Respectfully sul@%d, ;rank R.

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 5 Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 8.1—Meter Earth Station System - This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 8.1—meter earth station system. The analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs. Table 1. Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) _Power Density (mW/cm*) 30—300 0.2 300—1500 Frequency (MHz)*(0.8/1200) 1500—100,000 1.0 Table 2.

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 2 of 5 1. Far Field Distance Calculation The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation: Distance to the Far Field Region R; = 0.60 D/A (1) = 1869.9 m The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following equation: On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field S; =GP/(4 1 R;") (2) = 7.434 W/im" = 0.743 mW/icm* 2. Near Field Calculation Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance. The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Extent of the Near Field Ry = D/ (4 A) (3) = 779.1 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Near Field Power Density Sa = 16.0 71 P /(« D) (4) = 17.354 W/im* = 1.735 mW/icm* 3. Transition Region Calculation The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following equation: Transition Region Power Density St =Sy Ry/R (5) = 1.735 mW/icm*

| Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report ' Page 3 of 5 4. Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are reflected back toward the main reflector. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the subreflector and the reflector surfaces can be calculated by determining the power density at the subreflector surface. This can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Subreflector Ssr = 4000 P / Agr (6) = 161.881 mW/icm* 5. Main Reflector Region The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface Ssurtace Z4 P / Asurface (7) = 27.169 W/im" = 2.717 mW/icm* 6. Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and the ground can be determined from the following equation: Power Density between Reflector and Ground Sy P / Asurface (8) 6.792 W/im 0.679 mW/cm*

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 5 of 5 8. Conclusions Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) Environment. The antenna will be installed at the Hawaii Pacific Teleport facility in Kapolei, Hawaii. All of the antennas at the facility are fenced in with secured access in and around the antennas. The proposed earth station will be installed within the fenced in area and will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in the vicinity of the earth station to inform those in the general population, who might be working or otherwise present in or near the direct path of the main beam. The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for either the public, or for earth station personnel. Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/icm**2 will be complied with for those regions in close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel. The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below: Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure ofhumans to radiofrequency radiation in excess ofthe FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such asfencing. Requirementsfor restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling or byfield measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fee. gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs andprotective equipmentfor worker.

1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 10/21/2013 Page 3 of 10

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line—of—sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case. The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station. Company None No other carriers reported potential interference cases. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 10/21/2013 Page 4 of 10
