- 13. Description
- The applicant seeks an extension of its current special temporary authority ('STA') to continue using the Telstar 12 V, with conditions, as a new point of communication. The current STA was granted on January 29, 2016 and slated to expire on February 28, 2016. See FCC File No. SES-STA-20160126-00750. During the interim STA operations, there have not been any interference complaints. As the Commission is aware, the applicant has a pending modification, filed on FCC Form 312, seeking permanent authority to add Telstar 12 V, and all associated aspects of that operation, to the E970050 authorization. See FCC File No. SES-MOD-20151201-00882. The ALLSAT satellite Telstar 12, predecessor to Telstar 12 V, is slated to be decommissioned on Sunday, January 31, 2016. In December 2015, and at the time the applicant submitted its original E970050 modification application, the Telstar 12 decommissioning was slated for the first few weeks of February. However, the Telstar 12 operator very recently accelerated the decommissioning timeline to cease operations on Sunday, January 31, 2016. As such, the applicant has no other option but seek an STA in order to continue service to its viewing community. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests an STA to commence temporary operations to include communications with Telstar 12 V as soon as possible.
