          Re:          Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                       Riverside, California Earth Station EO60384

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days, beginning March 12, 2016, of
the Special Temporary (“STA”)l previously granted Intelsat to use its Riverside, California Ku—band
earthstation—call sign E060384—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 continue to 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 licenses 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.

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 from its 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 quéstions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (7O3) 559—6949.

Respectfully submitted,




Cynthia J. Grady
