                    Request for Sixty (60) Day Special Temporary Authority


        Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Federal Communications Commission‘s ("FCC")

rules," 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." 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."

       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.




‘ 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).
 See IBFS File No. SES—AMD—20150114—00009 (filed Jan. 13, 2015).
> 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.

                                   Narrative Statement


Description of Application

        Pursuant to Section 25.116(a) of the Commission‘s rules," EchoStar Brdadcasting
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 EO80120. 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.



EAA 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


147 C.FR. § 25.116(a).
> This application is being filed as an amendment to SES—MOD—20141022—00804 because
it involves the same call sign (EO80120). 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.

protection to the general public of 1 mW/cmis 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/cm* are also exceeded in the near field, transition region, the
area of the main reflector and thearea 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 regioné 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.

                                       Response to Question 36 —

         On July 26, 2011, the FCC declared null and void an authorization of EchoStar
Corporation, the parent company of EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation (together with
their affiliates, "EchoStar"), to construct, launch, and operate a new Diréct Broadcast Satellite at
86.5° W.L. for failure to meet the critical design review milestone, and rejected EchoStar‘s
request to modify its 86.5° W.L. authorization to allow the in—orbit EchoStar 8 satellite to provide

      Analysis of Non—lonizing 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.                                            ‘

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following équation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       Rg; = 0.60 D/A                          (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                 S; =GP/(4 1 Rg")                        (2)
                                                               = 22.663 W/im*                   |
                                                               = 2.266 mW/cm*

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                               Ry = D/ (4 2)                           (3):
                                                               = 200.2 m
The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               Sa = 16.0 1 P / (@ D)                   (4)
                                                               = 52.904 W/m"
                                                               = 5.290 mW/cm*

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 R;, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S = Sy Ro/ R             ’               (5)
                                                               = 5.290 mW/cm*


           ,                                                                      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 / Ag                 '   (6)
                                                               = 955.706 mW/icm*

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      Ssurtace = 4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
       |                                                      = 93.005 W/m*
                                                              = 9.301 mW/cm"

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 / Asurtace                     (8)
                                                              = 23.251 W/im*
                                                              = 2.325 mW/cm*


     '                         '                     .                              Exhibit

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.



8.          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.                                                                        C

Finally, occupatiohal 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.                                       —
