Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report                                                           01/07/2016                             Page 2 of 10


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   01/07/2016         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.

;| matter to do so, or that, while technically feasible, such services would require so many compromises in satellite design and
   operation as to make it economically unreasonable. A narrative description and technical analysis demonstrating this claim are
   attached.


                                                                                                                                        Coordination Report

Communications, Inc. for Modification of                                         File No:
Fixed Earth Station License to Add
Permitted List Authority                                                         Call Sign: E050206



        By this application, Harris CapRock Communications, Inc. ("Harris CapRock")
 seeks to modify its existing C—band fixed earth station license (Call Sign EO0S50206) by
 adding "Permitted List" as an authorized point of communication for the earth station
 terminal. The subject terminal — a Sea Tel Model 9797— is located on the Constitution
 Hub, an offshore oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico (27° 17‘ 31.9" N, 90° 58‘ 4.8"
 W). Presently under the license, the terminal is authorized to communicate with certain
 satellite points of communication and this modification seeks to expand communications
 to include satellites on the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List. The requested
 modification will afford Harris CapRock additional operational flexibility and allow it to
 obtain more reliable and cost—effective satellite services on the offshore platform,
        In seeking Permitted List authority, Harris CapRock requests authority to operate
 the earth station terminal with any U.S. licensed satellite and non—U.S. licensed satellite
 on the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List. Accordingly, Harris CapRock also
 seeks to widen the range of satellite arc currently in the license to 60° W.L. to 143° W.L.,
 which will slightly modify the maximum EIRP spectral density towards the horizon
 value, as well as the azimuth and elevation angles as indicated in the Schedule B. Harris
 CapRock certifies that the remaining technical information in its earth station license and
 associated application‘ remains unchanged.

over the proposed satellite arc range and will not cause harmful interference. Comsearch
sent a coordination notice to existing licensees in the band within relevant coordination
distances and no objections have been received from incumbent licensees. Accordingly,
Harris CapRock‘s proposed operations are fully compatible with other FCC—licensed
operations." The requested modification will serve the public interest by enhancing
Harris CapRock‘s satellite communication capabilities on the Constitution Hub, thereby
improving the critical services its provides to crew members for business and emergency
operations.
       Accordingly, Harris CapRock respectfully requests that the Commission grant its
application to modify its existing C—band earth station license, Call Sign EO50206, by
adding Permitted List authority to allow the terminal to communicate with satellites on
the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List.

(space—to—Earth) Frequency Bands        '


                    Application for Special Temporary Authorization

       Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission (the "Commission Rules"), 47 C.F.R. § 25.120, Harris
CapRock Corporation ("Harris CapRock") seeks a special temporary authorization
("STA") to operate its licensed Sea Tel Model 9797 C—band terminal on the Constitution
Hub — an offshore oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico (27° 17‘ 31.9" N, 90° 58
4.8" W) — while communicating with satellites on the Commission‘s Permitted Space
Station List (‘Permitted List"). Presently under the license, the terminal is authorized to
communicate with certain satellite points of communication in the C—band.
       The requested STA will afford Harris CapRock short—term operating authority
during the pendency of its concurrently filed modification application‘ to add Permitted
List authority. Grant of the requested STA is essential to ensure that there is no lapse in
essential satellite—based services to the oil platform in the context of an upcoming change
in serving satellite capacity scheduled for late January/early February 2016.       Harris
CapRock seeks an STA for a period of up to 60 days, commencing no later than January
20, 2016.

Earth Station License to Add Permitted List Authority, Call Sign E050206 ("Modification
Application").


1.          DISCUSSION
            Harris CapRock requests authority to operate the earth station terminal with U.S.
licensed satellite and non—U.S. licensed satellites on the Commussion‘s Permitted Space
Station List. Accordingly, Harris CapRock also seeks to expand the range of satellite arc
currently in the license to 60° W.L. to 143° W.L., which will slightly modify the
maximum EIRP spectral density towards the horizon value, as well as the azimuth and
elevation, as indicated in the attached modification application. Harris CapRock certifies
that the remaining technical information in its earth station license and associated
applicationremains unchanged.
            A   frequency   coordination   analysis   was   conducted by    Comsearch    and
demonstrates that Harris CapRock may operate the Sea Tel 9797 earth station terminal
over the proposed arc range without causing harmful interference.          Comsearch sent a
coordination notice to existing licensees in the band within the relevant coordination
distances and no objections have been received from incumbent licensees. Accordingly,
Harris CapRock‘s proposed operations are fully compatible with other FCC—licensed
operations.‘ The requested STA will serve the public interest by enhancing Harris
CapRock‘s satellite communication capabilities on the Constitution Hub in the near—term,
thereby improving the critical services its provides to crew members for business and
emergency operations.
     III.       EXPEDITED CONSIDERSATION
       Harris CapRock respectfully requests expedited processing of this STA request
under Section 25.120.        Section 25.120(a) provides that STA requests should be filed at
least three working days prior to the date of commencement of the proposed operations.
Here, Harris CapRock seeks to commence operations on or after January 20, 2016.
            Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3), Harris CapRock is filing for 60—day STA to

ensure proper short—term authorizations during the pendency of its earth station
modification application. Section 25.120(b)(3) provides that the Commission may grant
STA for a period not to exceed 60 days if it has not placed the STA request on public
notice and the applicant plans to file a request for regular authority for the service. Here,
Harris CapRock has concurrently filed a request to modify its license to add Permitted
List authority."
         Due to a change in satellite capacity, Harris CapRock requires near—term use of
Permitted List satellites to accommodate the capacity adjustment and ensure there is no
lapse in vital satellite communication services. Given the near—term commencement of
the proposed operations and that they have been fully coordinated, expedited processing
of this STA request is warranted and will ensure properly authorized temporary
operations while the Commission reviews Harris CapRock‘s modification application.
         Grant of the requested authority will serve the public interest by allowing the
near—term use of the terminal on the Constitution Hub to communicate with Permitted
List satellites, which will greatly benefit employees and personnel and accelerate the
expansion of C—band satellite communications services. Accordingly, Harris CapRock
respectfully submits that the public interest will be served by grant of the requested STA
no later than January 20, 2016.
   IV.      CONCLUSION
         In view of the foregoing, Harris CapRock respectfully requests that the
Commission grant its 60—day STA request to allow the Sea Tel— 9797 terminal to
communicate with satellites on the Permitted List in the C—band on the Constitution Hub
