Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority On September 4, 2013, the International Bureau granted the request filed by O3b Limited ("O3b") for special temporary authority ("STA")! to operate its earth station located in Bristow, Virginia (the "Virginia Earth Station") in accordance with the parameters specified in its underlying application for permanent authority.2 O3b has submitted requests seeking extension of its STA, most recently through May 25, 2014.3 Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules,4 O3b hereby requests a further extension of its STA covering the 180—day period between May 26, 2014, and November 25, 2014. O3b‘s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable 03b to continue its monitoring so that it may identify and resolve space station and system anomalies. By granting O3b‘s initial STA request, the Bureau already has found that facilitating these activities is in the public interest. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, 03b respectfully requests that its STA extension request be granted. 1 ECC File No. SES—STA—20130617—00497. 2 ECC File No. SES—LIC—20130618—00516, Call Sign E130107. 3 FCC File No. SES—STA—20131023—00883. 447 C.F.R. § 25.120.
