*** Expedited Action Requested by December 8, 2014*** APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (Call Sign E140095) SES Americom, Inc. (“SES”) respectfully requests a 60-day Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to begin use of the new 7.3m GD Satcom C-band antenna (C-12) (call sign E140095) for TT&C of the AMC-9 satellite at 83° W.L. prior to grant of the regular authorization for the earth station.1 Expedited processing is requested by December 8, 2014, to enable SES to perform a planned transition of the TT&C functions for AMC-9 from SES’s Vernon Valley teleport to its Woodbine teleport. Specifically, SES requests authority to use the C-12 antenna on the following TT&C frequencies with AMC-9: 6423.5 MHz (telecommand), 3700.5 MHz and 4199.5 MHz (telemetry).2 All TT&C operations will be conducted within the coordinated technical parameters set forth in the pending earth station license application for regular authority.3 No harmful interference is expected to be caused or received during the proposed TT&C operations. Expedited grant of the requested STA by December 8, 2014, will serve the public interest by enabling SES to optimize the use of its earth station assets to perform TT&C for its satellites. 1 See SES Americom, Inc., File No. SES-LIC-20140912-00723 (“C-12/C-13/C-14 Application”) (pending).
