EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation STA Request Page 1 of 1 Request for Sixty (60) Day Special Temporary Authority Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) rules,1 EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (“EBC”) requests special temporary authority (“STA”) for sixty (60) days, commencing on June 15, 2015, to operate a 3.7m earth station antenna in Cheyenne, Wyoming.2 Grant of the STA is in the public interest as it will enable EBC to improve its satellite fleet management by providing additional resiliency of operations. By enabling such resiliency, EBC will be in a better position to manage and maintain its satellite fleet in the event such backup is needed. EBC has a pending application for regular authority for this 3.7m antenna. However, because of the important benefits that near term operation that the subject earth station will provide to EBC’s customers, EBC requests immediate action. EBC hereby incorporates by reference IBFS File No. SES-AMD-20150114-00009, including all technical data, exhibits and any supplements thereto.3 Accordingly, for the reasons stated herein, EBC requests that the FCC grant this STA request by June 15, 2015 so that EBC may bring the benefits of such operations to its customers in the near term. 1 Under Section 25.120(b)(3), the FCC may grant this STA for 60 days without putting the application on public notice because EBC has filed and an application for regular authority for the 3.7m antenna, which is still pending. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3). 2 See IBFS File No. SES-AMD-20150114-00009 (filed Jan. 13, 2015). 3 See id. EBC has attached a copy of the amendment application to this request. However, one difference from the underlying application, with this STA request, EBC is not requesting authority to have the EchoStar 3 satellite at 86.4° W.L. be a point of communication.
