February 13, 2015 System Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Rules and Regulations (“Regulations”) of the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”), RigNet Satcom Inc., (“RigNet”), by way of the underlying application submitted by the undersigned, seeks Commission consideration for a Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to operate an earth station at the Gulf of Mexico location indicated in the application. Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Regulations, in “circumstances requiring … temporary use of facilities, request may be made for special temporary authority to install and/or operate new or modified equipment.” In addition, according to Section 25.120(b)(4) of the Regulations, the Commission may grant temporary authorization for a period not to exceed 30 days, if the STA request has not been placed on public notice, and an application for regular authority is not contemplated. In the instance case, the STA request has not been placed on public notice and RigNet does not plan to file an application for regular authority. The proposed antenna will be used to support a communications system for a temporary oil drilling operation. An STA under these conditions is contemplated by the Regulations due to “circumstances requiring … temporary use of facilities.” An application for regular authority is not submitted because it would be inefficient for the Commission to process an application for permanent authorization for a project of short duration. Therefore, RigNet respectfully requests an STA for 30 days. The satellite to be used for this temporary operation will be Intelsat 901 (342 E.L.) In addition, because of the nature of the project, RigNet believes that the granting of this STA is in the public interest and that delay in the institution of these temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest. Once the drilling operation starts in

this remote area, the proposed antenna will be a critical line of communication. In order to insure service, the requested STA date is February 28, 2015. In accordance to Section 25.120(a) of the Regulations, this STA is being filed at least 3 working days prior to the date of proposed operation. The antenna at issue is a Seatel 9797 C-band (“Antenna”). This Antenna does not strictly comply with Section 25.209 of the Regulations. However, according to Section 25.218 of the Regulations, an applicant may request routine processing of an application if it meets the applicable off-axis EIRP envelopes. Furthermore, an application pursuant to Section 25.218 must file the corresponding tables outlined in Section 25.115(h) of the Regulations. Applicant presents below the tables outlined in Section 25.115(h) and therefore requests routine processing of this application.
