         Re:      Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority to Operate a 9 meter Ku—band
                  Antenna at Intelsat‘s Napa, California Teleport


Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 60 days of the Special Temporary
Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to utilize a 9 meter Ku—band antenna located at its
Napa, California teleport to provide communications services to/from the Yamal—300K satellite at
183.0° E.L.*. Intelsat has filed an application for a permanent license for this antenna."

These communication services will continue to be performed in the 14.0—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space)
and 10.95—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) band. Although the Yamal 300K satellite is not on the
Permitted Space Station list, U.S. earth station access to the satellite has already been approved.*
Intelsat requests continued use of this antenna in order to accommodate a customer that requires
additional capacity over the Pacific that cannot be provided on the custmer‘s current Intelsat
satellite.

In support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibits A and B, which
provide relevant technical parameters and a radiation hazard report.

Grant of this STA extension request serves the public interest by enabling Intelsat to meet customer
demand for additional capacity.




‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee and this supporting letter
electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS").
