Operations will not exceed the operational power levels and parameters requested and coordinated. 2. Operations, shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such interference and notify the FCC in writing. 3. Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector. Appropriate measure must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station‘s power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines. 4. The SES Americom Inc. shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307 (b) and 1.1310 wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. 5. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at SES Americom Inc‘s risk. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective upon release.

Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of SES Americom, Inc. SES—STA— — Call sign E160139 Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate with AMC—8 at 139° W.L. APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY SES Americom, Inc. ("SES Americom") respectfully requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for 30 days to test its new 11 meter Vertex antenna (SMWAAS) at its South Mountain teleport located in Somis, California, in the conventional C—band with AMC—8, operating at 139° W.L. As described in the pending license application, the SMWAAS antenna will be used to communicate with the Wide Area Augmentation System ("WAAS") payload on the SES—15 satellite to be operated by SES Satellites (Gibraltar) Ltd. ("SES—GIB") at 129.15° W.L.‘ SES Americom seeks STA to test the new antenna in C—band frequencies beginning Decémber 1, 2016, and asks for Commission action consistent with that timing. Specifically, SES Americom requests authority to test the SMWASS antenna on the following frequencies with AMC—8: 3700—4200 MHz (downlink) and 6247—6283 MHz 5237 7 (uplink)." Testing will consist of an unmodulated CW carrier for a few hours once during the 30— day STA term. All operations will be conducted within the technical parameters set forth in Attachment 1 and on an unprotected, non—interference basis. 1 SES Americom, Inc., Call Sign E160139, File No. SES—LIC—20160725—00674, filed July 25, 2016. 2 C—band operations with AMC—8, including in the 6247—6283 MHz band, have been coordinated at the Somis, California teleport and include the parameters requested in this application. See File No. SES—RWL— 20081105—01451, granted Nov. 6, 2008 (call sign KB27).

Grant of the requested STA will allow SES Americom to ensure its earth station is capable of providing a high level of service in support of the WAAS operations, which will ultimately improve aircraft navigation and safety. For the foregoing reasons, SES Americom respectfully requests that the Commission grant it a 30—day STA to test its SMWAAS earth station with AMC—8 in the conventional C—band.
