SECTION 3507.

EXHIBIT 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules,‘ DISH Operating L.L.C. (together with its affiliates, "DISH") and EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation (together with its affiliates, "EchoStar") request to renew their special temporary authorizations ("STAs") for an additional 60 days until September 6, 2016, to (i) conduct in—orbit testing ("IOT") of the EchoStar 18 satellite (Call Sign $2931) at the 67.2° W.L. orbital location using the satellite‘s assigned DBS frequencies; and (ii) operate four earth stations in Summerset, SD (Call Sign E150098), Cheyenne, WY (Call Sign E980005), and Gilbert, AZ (Call Signs E060003 & EO070014) for in—orbit testing and telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") operations while the satellite is at 67.2° W.L. Grant of the requested STA renewals will allow DISH and EchoStar to continue conducting IOT and TT&C operations (including related earth station communications) of EchoStar 18 while the satellite remains temporarily at 67.2° W.L., prior to moving to its proposed assigned orbital location at 61.35° W.L.," in accordance with the following schedule: (1) EchoStar 18 was launched successfully on June 18, 2016. (2) After launch and orbit—raising maneuvers, EchoStar 18 will be located at 67.2° W.L., where IOT will commence for approximately 60 days. ! See 47 C.E.R. § 25.120(b)(3). * See DISH, IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20160504—00044 (granted June 8, 2016); EchoStar, IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160202—00110 (granted June 8, 2016); EchoStar, IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160601—00469 (granted June 8, 2016); EchoStar, IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160601—00470 (granted June 8, 2016); EchoStar, IBFS File No. SES—STA—20160512—00432 (granted June 8, 2016). * DISH very shortly will file a modification application to change EchoStar 18‘s assigned orbital location to 61.35° W.L.

(3) After completion of IOT, EchoStar 18 will be moved to its proposed assigned orbital location at 61.35° W.L. The requested testing will not cause harmful interference to other authorized co— frequency broadcasting satellite service ("BSS") operations. The nearest co—frequency satellites are EchoStar 12, EchoStar 15, and EchoStar 16 at the 61.5° W.L. orbital cluster and Nimiq 5 at 72.7° W.L., all of which are being utilized by EchoStar for the provision of BSS/DBS. 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, DISH and EchoStar are prepared to take appropriate measures to eliminate the interference, including immediately terminating IOT upon receiving notice of such interference. Grant of the requested STA renewals will serve the public interest by allowing DISH and EchoStar to conduct IOT operations required to ensure that the EchoStar 18 satellite is fully operational and capable of providing service to millions of DISH subscribers.
