July 17, 2014 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Fillmore, California Earth Station E4132 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)1 for 30 days, commencing August 18, 2015, to use its Fillmore, California C-band earth station—call sign E4132—to provide launch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services for Intelsat 34,2 which is expected to be launched on August 18, 2015. The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 10 days.3 The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 6173.7 MHz and 6176.3 MHz in the uplink (LHCP), and 3949.0 MHz, 3949.5 MHz, 3950.5 MHz, and 3951 MHz in the downlink (RHCP). The proposed operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path.4 All operators of potentially affected satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. The 24x7 contact information for the Intelsat 34 mission is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559-7701 – East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525-5591 – West Coast Operations Center (back-up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. 1 Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”). 2 See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT-01064, File No. SAT-LOA-20140114-00005 (Jan. 23, 2015) (Public Notice). 3 Intelsat is seeking authority for 30 days to accommodate a possible launch delay. 4 Intelsat will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch July 17, 2014 Page 2 Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Intelsat 34 satellite. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of service at the 55.5° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—6949. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia J. Grady Regulatory Counsel Intelsat Corporation cc: Paul Blais
