Exhibit A EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation FCC Form 312 Earth Station Amendment Application Page 1 of 2 Narrative Statement Description of Application Pursuant to Section 25.116(a) of the Commission’s rules,1 EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (“EBC”) hereby amends its earth station license modification application (SES-MOD-20141022-00804) to add a single 3.7 m transmit/receive antenna under call sign E080120.2 The antenna will communicate in the same bands and with the same points of contacts as other antennas under this call sign. Specifically, it will transmit in the 17.2-17.8 GHz band and receive in the 12.20-12.70 GHz band. FAA Notification According to section 17.7(e)(3) antenna structures of less than 6.10 meters in height do not require FAA registration. The total height of the proposed antenna will be 4.7 meters above ground. Therefore this antenna does not require FAA notification. Radiation Hazard Analysis A radiation hazard analysis was performed for the 3.7 meter antenna, with a maximum possible 189.0 Watts of power applied at the flange, using the methodology from OET Bulletin 65. The results of this analysis, which is in the Radiation Hazard Exhibit attached hereto, shows that the maximum permissible exposure limit (MPE) for 1 47 C.F.R. § 25.116(a). 2 This application is being filed as an amendment to SES-MOD-20141022-00804 because it involves the same call sign (E080120). Nothing in this amendment application is meant to change the information EBC submitted in SES-MOD-20141022-00804. EBC incorporates all of the information in the form and exhibits in the pending modification, SES-MOD-20141022-00804, by reference. Furthermore, EBC requests that the International Bureau grant this amendment and the pending modification separately to the extent necessary in order to expedite processing.

Exhibit A EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation FCC Form 312 Earth Station Amendment Application Page 2 of 2 protection to the general public of 1 mW/cm2 is exceeded in the near field, transition region, far field and in the region between the reflector and the ground. The controlled environment levels of 5 mW/cm2 are also exceeded in the near field, transition region, the area of the main reflector and the area between the main reflector and the sub-reflector. EBC will ensure that the public and operational personnel are not exposed to harmful levels of radiation by one or both the following methods: 1) The earth station will be located in a gated and fenced facility with secured access in and around the proposed antenna. Since the proposed earth station will not transmit at an antenna elevation of less than 21.8 degrees, and since one diameter removed from the center of main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, public safety will be ensured for the near and far field regions. 2) Occupational exposure will be limited by turning off the transmitter during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for regions in close proximity to the main reflector as well as the subreflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.

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 01/05/2015 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. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 01/05/2015 Page 4 of 10

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 4 Analysis of Non-Ionizing Radiation for a 3.7-Meter Earth Station System This report analyzes the non-ionizing radiation levels for a 3.7-meter earth station system. The analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97-01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96-326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far-field, near-field, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 2 of 4 1. Far Field Distance Calculation The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation: Distance to the Far Field Region Rff = 0.60 D2 / (1) = 480.5 m The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following equation: On-Axis Power Density in the Far Field Sff = G P / (4 Rff 2) (2) = 22.663 W/m2 = 2.266 mW/cm2 2. Near Field Calculation Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance. The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Extent of the Near Field Rnf = D2 / (4 ) (3) = 200.2 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Near Field Power Density Snf = 16.0 P / ( D2) (4) = 52.904 W/m2 = 5.290 mW/cm2 3. Transition Region Calculation The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions away from the antenna. The power density at a distance Rt can be determined from the following equation: Transition Region Power Density St = Snf Rnf / Rt (5) = 5.290 mW/cm2

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 3 of 4 4. Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are reflected back toward the main reflector. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the subreflector and the reflector surfaces can be calculated by determining the power density at the subreflector surface. This can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Subreflector Ssr = 4000 P / Asr (6) = 955.706 mW/cm2 5. Main Reflector Region The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface Ssurface = 4 P / Asurface (7) = 93.005 W/m2 = 9.301 mW/cm2 6. Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and the ground can be determined from the following equation: Power Density between Reflector and Ground Sg = P / Asurface (8) = 23.251 W/m2 = 2.325 mW/cm2

Conclusions Based on the above analysis it is concluded that the FCC MPE guidelines have been exceeded (or met) in the regions of Table 4 and 5. The applicant proposes to comply with the MPE limits by one or more of the following methods. The earth station will be located in a Gated and Fenced facility with secured access in and around the proposed antenna. Since the proposed earth station will not transmit at an antenna elevation of less than 21.8 degrees, and since one diameter removed from the center of main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, public safety will be ensured for the near and far field regions. Finally, occupational exposure will be limited, and the transmitter will be turned off during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in close proximity to the main reflector, and subreflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.
