NBC Telemundo License LLC
Request for 60—Day Extension of Special Temporary Authority, E150015
Exhibit A

                REQUEST FOR 60—DAY EXTENSION OF EXISTING STA

NBC Telemundo Licensee LLC ("NBC Telemundo"), pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the
FCC‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3), hereby requests a 60—day extension of its current special
temporary authority ("STA") to operate its licensed 5.6 m Ku—band earth station in Washington,
D.C., E150015, in accordance with its pending modification application under IBFS File No.
SES—MOD—20151028—00781 (technical information is incorporated by reference).

Specifically, NBC Telemundo seeks extension of the STA initially granted effective March 4,
2016 under IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160226—00179 and renewed effective April 4, 2016 under
IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160325—00299. The STA allows E150015 to operate with the Telstar
12V ($2933) satellite at the 15° W.L. orbital location and the Telstar 12 ($2462) satellite at the
15° W.L. orbital location using extended Ku—band transmit spectrum from 13787.0 to 14000.0
MHz and extended Ku—band receive spectrum from 10950.0 to 11200.0 MHz and from 11450.0
MHz to 11700.0 MHz for digital video, audio and data transmissions in support of programming
and broadcast services.

NBC Telemundo filed its pending modification application in October 2015 seeking permanent
authority to operate as described above; and the application was placed on public notice on
December 16, 2015. No objections or petitions have been filed against the modification
application. Because, however, the proposed uplink spectrum is shared with the Federal
Government, coordination with NTIA is required on behalf of the Federal Government users.
NBC Telemundo‘s modification application addresses the coordination issues in its Exhibit D
(Freq. Coordination), and to resolve them the application proposes to limit extended Ku—band
uplink operations to the 13787.0 to 14000.0 MHz band.

Renewal of the STA for a 60—day period is permissible pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the
rules because, as noted above, NBC Telemundo has filed an application for regular authority
under IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20151028—00781. Prompt action is required because satellite
operator Telesat is in the midst of replacing Telstar—12 which had conventional Ku—band
coverage in North America with Telstar—12 Vantage that only has extended Ku—band available
for use in North America. NBC Telemundo uses Telstar—12 satellites because of their
geographical footprint in Europe, Middle East and North Africa, which is important for
international newsgathering. Conventional Ku—band transponders with comparable coverage and
accessible from the U.S. are not easily available.

NBC Telemundo has received no complaints during the period of STA operations. Grant of the
requested extension will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity because it will
assure continuity of service to NBC Telemundo broadcast affiliates nationwide, service that
otherwise may be disrupted.

NBC Telemundo expressly agrees to the following conditions:


1)   All operations authorized by the STA shall be on an unprotected, non—interference basis.
     In the event of any harmful interference, operations on extended Ku—band frequencies at
     issue will cease immediately.
3)   All operations will be within the parameters of the frequency coordination report and
     radiation hazard report submitted under IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20151028—00781.
4)   Grant of an STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may
     make regarding the application for permanent authority pending under IBFS File No.
     SES—MOD—20151028—00781.
5)   Any action taken or expenses incurred as a result of operations pursuant to the STA are
     solely at NBC Telemundo‘s risk.
