12. Description EXPEDITED ACTION REQUESTED by August 7, 2014. SES Americom respectfuily requested grant of a 30— day STA to begin on August 7, 2014, to operate KA272 with the AMC—7 satellite at 137W in the conventional C—band. KA272 is currently authorized to operate in these frequencies in the coordinated satellite are 170W to 188W. SES Americom has submitted a Modification application to expand the coordinated arc of KA272 to 131W to 188W, and has completed terrestrial coordination for such an expansion (see Submission ID I1B2014001580, filed Aug. 1, 2014). As a result, there is no risk of harmful interference. Expedited action by August 6, 2014, is requested to enable AMC—7 traffic to be transferred to the KA272 antenna so that needed repairs can be made to the reqgular antenna servicing AMC—7. This traffic transfer must be scheduled around AMC—7 stationkeeping maneuvers to ensure no disruption to customer or satellite operations. SES Americom respectfully requests grant by August 7 to enable this traffic transfer to occur without any such disruption. For these reasons, expedited grant of the requested STA would serve the public interest.

Mah Regulatory Counsel (202) 478—7137 daniel.mah@ses.com August 5, 2014 By Electronic Filing Mr. Paul Blais Chief, System Analysis Branch, Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: File No. SES—STA—20140801—00629, Call Sign KA272 Dear Mr. Blais: SES Americom, Inc. ("SES"), hereby clarifies that the primary purpose of the above—referenced request for Special Temporary Authority ("STA") is to enable TT&C for AMC—7 to be transferred to KA272 pending repairs to one of the regular antennas used for AMC—7 TT&C (6423.5 MHz telecommand; 4199.5 MHz & 3700.5 MHz telemetry). See File No. SAT—MOD—19981023—00074 (Call Sign $2155), Technical Appendix at 1 (granted in DA 00—2096, rel. Sep. 13, 2000). SES is also seeking an authority to use AMC—7 for potential customer traffic during the STA period, but clarifies that there is no customer traffic at this time that needs to be transferred to KA272. SES‘s customers are using their own antennas to access the satellite and will not be affected by the use of KA272 for TT&C. Please address any questions concerning this submission to the undersigned.
