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. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 01/07/2016 Page 4 of 10

3. SUPPLEMENTAL SHOWING Pursuant to Part 25.203(c) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, the satellite earth station proposed in this application was coordinated by Comsearch using computer techniques and in accordance with Part 25 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Coordination data for this earth station was sent to the below listed carriers with a letter dated 12/15/2015. Company RigNet SatCom, Inc.

Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application of Shell Communications, Inc. for Modification of Fixed Earth Station File No: License to Add Permitted List Authority Call Sign: E060228 Earth Station License Modification Application By this application, Shell Communications, Inc. ("Shell Communications") seeks to modify its existing C—band fixed earth station license (Call Sign EO060228) by adding "Permitted List" as an authorized point of communication for the earth station terminal. The subject terminal — a Sea Tel 9797 — is located on the GB 426 Auger, an offshore oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico (27° 32‘ 45.6" N, 92° 26‘ 35.0" 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 Shell Communications additional operational flexibility and allow it to obtain more reliable and cost—effective satellite services on the offshore platform, where reliable broadband connectivity is critical for operational, safety and other reasons. In seeking Permitted List authority, Shell Communications 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, Shell Communications 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. Shell Communications certifies that the remaining technical information in its earth station license and associated application‘ remains unchanged. ‘ See File No. SES—MFS—20081210—01580 (Call Sign EO60228).

A frequency coordination analysis was conducted by Comsearch and demonstrates that Shell Communications may operate the Sea Tel 9797 earth station terminal 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, Shell Communications‘ proposed operations are fully compatible with other FCC—licensed operations." The requestéd modification will serve the public interest by enhancing Shell Communications‘ satellite communication capabilities on the GB426 Auger, thereby improving the critical services its provide to crew members for business and emergency operations. Shell Communications respectfully requests that the Commission grant its application to modify its existing C—band earth station license, Call Sign EO60228, by adding Permitted List authority to allow the terminal to communicate with satellites on the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List. * Please note that potentially affected licenses may respond to Comsearch by January 19, 2016, but Comsearch‘s analysis suggests that there will be no impact to such licensees by the operations proposed herein. To the extent that a potentially affected licensee contacts Comsearch regarding the proposed operations, Shell will inform the Commission and amend its application to the extent necessary to address the concerns of the affected licensees.

Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application of Shell Communications, Inc. for a Special Temporary Authorization to File No: Operate a Fixed Earth Station Terminal with Permitted List Satellites in the 5.925—6.425 Call Sign: E060228 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 3.7—4.2 GHz (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.FR. § 25.120, Shell Communications, Inc. ("Shell Communications") seeks a special temporary authorization ("STA") to operate its licensed Sea Tel 9797 C—band terminal on the GB 426 Auger — an offshore oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico (27° 32‘ 45.6" N, 92° 26‘ 35.0" 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 Shell Communications short—teerm 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. Shell Communications seeks an STA for a period of up to 60 days, commencing no later than January 20, 2016. See Application of Shell Communications, Inc. for Modification of Fixed Earth Station License to Add Permitted List Authority, Call Sign E060228 ("Modification Application").

I. DISCUSSION Shell Communications requests authority to operate the earth station terminal with U.S. licensed satellite and non—U.S. licensed satellites on the Commission‘s Permitted Space Station List. Accordingly, Shell Communications 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 angles, as indicated in the attached modification application. Shell Communications certifies that the remaining technical information in its earth station license and associated application" remains unchanged. A frequency coordination analysis was conducted by Comsearch and demonstrates that Shell Communications 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, Shell Communications‘ proposed operations are fully compatible with other FCC—licensed operations." The requested STA will serve the public interest by enhancing Shell Communications‘ satellite communication capabilities on the GB 426 Auger in the near—term, thereby improving the critical services its provides to crew members for business and emergency operations. III. EXPEDITED CONSIDERSATION Shell Communications 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, Shell Communications seeks to commence operations on or after January 20, 2016. Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3), Shell Communications is filing for 60—day STA * See File No. SES—MFS—20081210—01580 (Call Sign E060228). * Please note that potentially affected licenses may respond to Comsearch by January 19, 2016, but Comsearch‘s analysis suggests that there will be no impact to such licensees by the operations proposed herein. To the extent that a potentially affected licensee contacts Comsearch regarding the proposed operations, Shell will inform the Commission and adjust its operations accordingly to address the concerns of the relevant licensees.

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, Shell Communications has concurrently filed a request to modify its license to add Permitted List authority.* Due to a change in satellite capacity, Shell Communications 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 Shell Communications‘ modification application. » Grant of the requested authority will serve the public interest by allowing the near—term use of the terminal on the GB 426 Auger to communicate with Permitted List satellites, which will greatly benefit employees and personnel and accelerate the expansion of C—band satellite communications services. Accordingly, Shell Communications 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, Shell Communications 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 GB 426 Auger no later than January 20, 2016. * See Modification Application.
