Special Temporary Authority (STA)

AT&T Corp is granted a special temporary authority (STA) for 60 days, commencing March 01, 2017, to
operate a 13.1 m Ku—band antenna located in Catawissa, Pennsylvania to provide communications with
AMC—21 ($2676) satellite at the 124.9° W.L. orbital location at frequency bands 14000 — 14500 MHz
(Earth—to—space) and 11700 — 12200 MHz (space—to—Earth) under the following conditions:



4     Operations will not exceed the operational power levels and parameters requested and
coordinated.

2.     The operations must be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency
bands. All operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where
the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. Currently the 24X7 contact
information is: Ph.:(570) 799—1024 —Roaring Creek Earth Station Operations Center.

8.     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.

4.     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 powerflux density levels exceed the specified guidelines.

io     Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuantto this STA is solely at
AT&T‘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.                    ie

                    REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

           AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") respectfully requests a grant of special temporary authority

("STA")‘ for 60 days commencing March 1, 2017 to operate a 13.1 meter Ku—band antenna at its

Catawissa, Pennsylvania earth station (Call Sign E110107 prior to grant of its pending

modification application." AT&T filed a modification application on February 14, 2017 to

convert the earth station‘s 13.1 meter C—band transmit/receive antenna to a 13.1 meter Ku—band

transmit/receive antenna." The pending modification application contains complete technical

details of the Ku—band antenna‘s proposed operations, which are incorporated by reference here.

           Grant of special temporary authority will serve the public interest by allowing AT&T to

meet an immediate customer demand. AT&T‘s customer, a U.S. Government agency, intends to

use the antenna for national security—related purposes. This customer has expressed a desire to

begin using the antenna as soon as March 1, 2017. Accordingly, AT&T respectfully submits this

STA request to authorize use of the 13.1 meter Ku—band antenna prior to grant of AT&T‘s

pending modification application.

           AT&T understands that all operations pursuant to a grant of special temporary authority

will be on a non—interference basis. AT&T does not anticipate that its operations of this Ku—band

antenna will cause any harmful interference or adversely affect any other authorized users.

AT&T further understands that any grant of STA request would be without prejudice to action

on the underlying pending modification application.



‘ AT&T has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, and a $200.00 filing fee electronically via the International
Bureau‘s Filing System.
