The TT&C operations during IOT will be under the following conditions: 1. Intelsat will perform operations in the uplink frequencies (Earth—to—space): 13998.50 MHz and 14006.0 MHz (LHCP, H), and in the downlink frequencies (space—to—Earth): 11194.25 MHz, 11195.50 MHz, 11196.25 MHz and 11196.75 MHz (RHCP, V). The maximum EIRP shall not exceed 85 dBW per NTIA manual US 356. 2. Intelsat will coordinate the proposed IOT operations at IOT location 132° W.L. with operators of co— frequency satellites within six degrees. During the drift from 132° W.L. to the satellite‘s permanent orbital location 95.05° W.L., Intelsat will coordinate with operators of co—frequency satellites in the drift path. 3. Currently the 24x7 contact information for the Intelsat 31 mission 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. 4.

INTELSAT. Envision. Connect. Transform. June 22, 2016 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station E030096 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herem requests an additional 30 days, beginning July 6, 2016, of the Special Temporary Authonty ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku— band earth station—call sign EO30096—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") services* to Intelsat 31during in—orbit testmg ("IOT") at 132.0° W.L; and during the drift of Intelsat 31 to and at its final location of 95.05° W.L.* Intelsat 31 was launched on June 9, 2016. The IOT and drift are expected to last approximately three and two weeks, respectively." The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies: 13998.50 MHz and 14006.00 MHz in the uplink (LHCP, H); and 11194.25 MHz, 11195.50 MHz, 11196.25 MHz, and 11196.75 MHz in the downlink (RHCP, V). The proposed operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the drift path or are potentially affected by these operations at the IOT location." The proposed TT&C operations at 95.05° W.L. will be consistent with Intelsat‘s coordination agreements for the nominal 95° W.L. location. All operators of potentially affected satellites will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. The 24x7 contact information for the Intelsat 31 mission is as follows: ‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $195.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). * See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—015751858, File No. SES— STA—20160503—00389 (June 8, 2016) (Public Notice). 3 See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01052, File No. SAT—LOA—20140410—00038 (November 7, 2014) (Public Notice). At 95.05° W.L., Intelsat 31 will be co—located with Intelsat 30 (S2887) and Galaxy 3C (S2381). * Intelsat has a pending license modification application for E030096 to add Intelsat 31 as a point of communications at 95.05° W.L. See Intelsat License Modification to Licensefor Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station, Call Sign E030096, File No. SES—MFS—20160408—00326 (filed Apr. 8, 2016). * Intelsat will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 22, 2016 Page 2 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 extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A of its initial STA 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to help test, drift, and safely station—keep the Intelsat 31 satellite. This, in turn, will help ensure continuity of service at the 95.05° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest.
