         Re:       Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                   Riverside, California Earth Station E060384

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days—through January 3, 2016—of
Special Temporary ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Riverside, California Ku—band earth
station—call sign E060384—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services for
Intelsat 16 ($2750)° during its drift from 76.2° W.L. to 58.1° W.L.* Due to an unexpected delay, Intelsat
16 is now expected to begin drifting shortly. The drift is expected to take ten weeks.

TT&C operations will be performed in the following frequencies: 12198.25 MHz, 12198.75 MHz,
13997.5 MHz, and 14499.5 MHz. The drift operations will be coordinated with all operators of
satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the drift path.* All operators of satellites in that
path 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 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 further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A submitted with
its original request, which contains technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the


‘ 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").

earthstation will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful
interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility, or into Federal systems operating in the 13.75
—14.00 GHz band. 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.

Grant of this STA extension request will allow Intelsat to drift the Intelsat 16 satellite to its new
location. This, in turn, will help satisfy customer demand at 58.1° 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,
