        Re:       Request for Special Temporary Authority to Utilize Paumalu, Hawaii Earth Station,
                  KA265, to Perform Tracking, Telemetry, and Control for Intelsat 805 Satellite
                  EXPEDITED TREATMENT REQUESTED

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for
60 days, immediately upon grant, to utilize its Paumalu, Hawaii C—band antenna, KA265, to conduct
Tracking, Telemetry, and Control ("TT&C") for the Intelsat 805 satellite (Call Sign $2404) at 169.0°
E.L. Intelsat 805 arrived on station on February 27, 2016.

The Intelsat 805 TT&C operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 3947.5 MHz,
3948.0 MHz, 3952.0 MHz, 3952.5 MHz, 6173.7 MHz, and 6176.3 MHz. Intelsat has filed an
application to permanently modify the KA265 license to allow for TT&C operations at 169.0° EL.
Intelsat will perform TT&C operations proposed herein in accordance with its coordination agreements
for 169.0° E.L. and on a non—interference/non—protected basis.

Intelsat incorporates by reference its pending application for authority to use this antenna to transmit in
these frequencies on a permanent basis." The application contains detailed technical information
(Exhibits A and B) that demonstrates 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. 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.




‘ 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").
