Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority Castle Rock, Colorado Earth Station E881304 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 60 days, beginning August 19, 2016, of the Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)1 previously granted Intelsat to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku—band earth station—call sign E88 1304—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C") to Intelsat 29e at its permanent location of 50.0° W.L.* These TT&C operations will continue to be performed using the following frequencies: 3701.25 MHz, 3701.75 MHz, 3702.25 MHz, and 3702.75 MHz in the downlink; and 5850.0 — 5853.5 MHz and 6421.0 — 6424.5 MHz in the uplink. Intelsat has a pending application to modify the E881304 license to support Intelsat 29e TT&C operations at 50.0° W.L. on a permanent basis." 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. Intelsat also notes that for purposes of this STA it is seeking to operate in the frequencies listed in the request at power levels not to exceed 26.0dBW. The TT&C operations at 50.0° W.L. will be consistent with Intelsat‘s coordination agreements for the nominal 50° W.L,. In the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, Intelsat will take all necessary steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA extension request will continue to allow Intelsat to provide TT&C services to the Intelsat 29e satellite at 50.0° W.L., which ensures safe station—keeping of the satellite. This, in turn, will ‘ 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 Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01872, File No. SES—STA—20160623—00603 (July 27, 2016) (Public Notice); Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01086, File No. SAT—LOA—20130722—0097 (May 22, 2015) (Public Notice). * See Application of Intelsat License LLC to Modify License, File No. SES—MFS—20160712—00636 (filed July 12, 2016).
