                       Riverside, California Earth Station E060384

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days, beginning February 7, 2016, of
the Special Temporary ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Riverside, California Ku—band
earth station—call 31gn EQ60384—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." Intelsat 16 began drifting January
22, 2016. 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.


‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter
electronlcally via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS").

In further support of this further extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A
submitted with its original request, which contains technical information that demonstrates that the
operation of the earth station 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 fromits earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the
interference.

Grant of this STA further extension request will allow Intelsat to continue drifting 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,




Cynthia J. Grady
Regulatory Counsel
