Applicant: Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Call Sign: E140120 File No.: SES—STA—20141121—00869 Special Temporary Authority (STA) Incorporated Research Institution for Seismology, (IRIS) is granted special temporary authority for 30 days to operate a fixed earth station in Ford Island, HI, to communicate with Permitted List satellite in the 5925 — 5929, 6021 — 6037, 6095 — 6181, 6214 — 6255, AND 6347 — 6366 MHz (Earth —to—space) and 3700—4200, (space—to—Earth) frequency bands under the following conditions. 1. IRIS shall operate its 3.8 meter Prodelin 1383 antenna with Input Power Density into the antenna flange may not to exceed —13.2 dBW/4 kHz. 2. Operation must comply with the technical parameters specified in its underlying application, IBFS File no. SES—LIC—20141121—00867 3. The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the 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 and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. 4. All operations under this grant of STA shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis. Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology E140120 shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radio communication system. 5. In the event of any harmful interference as a result of operations under this grant of STA, IRIS shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and shall immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. 6. Grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding pending or future Intelsat License LLC applications. 7. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at Intelsat License LLC‘s risk.

This grant is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective upon release. +=~ , s — SESe—gashitt1—0064 r:;%:\k\g\kbGrmtDPate_> r)a%b—\g ((\votther $‘”fl‘(rfir) :;:

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 11/21/2014 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 Hawaii State Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. University of Hawaii No other carriers reported potential interference cases.
