SECTION 3507.

EXHIBIT 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules,‘ EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (together with its affiliates, "EchoStar") requests special temporary authority ("STA") for 180 days to operate two earth stations in Cheyenne, WY (Call Sign E980047) and Summerset, SD (Call Sign E150098) for in—orbit testing ("IOT") and/or telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") operations of the EchoStar 23 satellite during its temporary locations at 86.4° W.L. and 67.1° W.L. EchoStar further requests that the STA commence upon EchoStar 23‘s arrival at 67.1° W.L. in order to accommodate the timing uncertainties ordinarily associated with launching and positioning a satellite in a specific orbit. EchoStar 23 is a Ku—band Broadcasting—Satellite Service ("BSS") satellite authorized under Brazilian authority for operations at the 45° W.L. orbital location by EchoStar 45, an EchoStar affiliate. The satellite will provide new, competitive direct—to—home ("DTH") television service to Brazil from its assigned orbital location. EchoStar seeks to conduct IOT prior to moving the satellite to its assigned orbital location at 45° W.L. Specifically, EchoStar anticipates the following schedule: (1) EchoStar 23 is scheduled for launch during the period from September 1 through November 30, 2016. (2) After launch and orbit—raising maneuvers, EchoStar 23 will be temporarily located 67.1° W.L., where IOT will commence for approximately 30 days. The satellite will then be moved to 86.4° W.L. for 90 days. (3) Following the temporary operations at 86.4 ° WL EchoStar 23 will be moved to its assigned orbital location at 45° W.L. ‘ See 47 C.ER. § 25.120(b)(3).

The requested testing will not cause harmful interference to other authorized co— frequency BSS operations. The nearest co—frequency satellites are Echo 12/Echo 15/Echo 16 at 61.5 ° W.L. and Nimigq 5 at 72.7 ° W.L., which are being utilized by EchoStar for provision of BSS services. The IOT test plan procedures will be such that no interference will be generated into the adjacent EchoStar services. In the unlikely event of harmful interference, EchoStar is prepared to take appropriate measures to eliminate the interference, including immediately terminating IOT upon receiving notice of such interference. Grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest by allowing EchoStar to conduct IOT required to ensure that the EchoStar 23 satellite is fully operational and capable of providing new, competitive DTH television service to subscribers in Brazil and other Latin American countries from its assigned orbital location.
