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

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herem requests an additional 60 days, beginning May 2, 2016, of the
Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to utilize itsPaumalu, Hawaii C—
band antenna, KA265, to conduct Trackmg, 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 continue to 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° E.L.4
Intelsat will continue to 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, and a $195.00 filing fee electronically via the International
