REQUEST FOR RENEWAL OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (Response to Question 8 of FCC Form) Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(2) of the Commission‘s rules, ‘ EchoStar Satellite QOperating Corporation and EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (together with their affiliates, "EchoStar") hereby request a 180—day renewsal of its special temporary authorizations ("STAs") to operate: (i) the EchoStar 3 satellite at 61.8° W.L. as an in—orbit spare; and (ii) two transmit/receive earth stations (Call Signs E010242 and EO20248) to provide only telemetry, tracking, and control ("TT&C") for EchoStar 3 at 61.8° W.L.. Specifically, EchoStar requests continued authority to conduct TT&C over the following frequencies: 17301.5 MHz (command); and 12201.0 MHz, 12203.0 MHz, and 12699.0 MHz (telemetry). The current STAs for the space station and two earth stations expire on, respectively, June 18 and 20, 2016." EchoStar launched the EchoStar 16 satellite in November 2012 to provide additional service for its customer, DISH Network L.L.C., at the nominal 61.5° W.L. orbital location. In anticipation of the arrival of EchoStar 16 at 61.5° W.L., and to provide adequate station—keeping margins for all the satellites in the 61.5° W.L. orbital cluster," EchoStar repositioned EchoStar 3 to 61.8° W.L. in early 2012." Operating at 61.8° W.L. as an in—orbit spare, EchoStar 3 remains available, if needed, for repositioning within the nominal 61.5° W.L. orbital cluster to provide service. Accordingly, grant of the requested STA renewal is in the public interest. ‘ 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(2). * See Stamp Grant, File No. SAT—STA—20151111—00076 (granted January 7, 2016). 3 EchoStar 3, EchoStar 12, and EchoStar 16 are operating at 61.8° W.L., 61.35° W.L., and 61.5° W.L., respectively. EchoStar 15 also is operating at 61.65° W.L. as an in—orbit spare. * See Stamp Grant, File No. SAT—STA—20120424—00073 (granted Apr. 30, 2012).

The requested STA renewal is in the public interest for the same reasons that the Commission granted the existing STAs." Specifically, grant of this application will ensure safe station—keeping margins for each satellite located at the nominal 61.5° W.L. orbital location. Further, grant of this application will not cause harmful interference because EchoStar will conduct TT&C operations with EchoStar 3 at 61.8° W.L. in accordance with the conditions imposed on the original STA grant.© * See id. 6 See id.
