INTELSAT Envision. Connect. Transform. April 24, 2017 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority Hagerstown, Maryland Earth Station KA258 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Hagerstown, Maryland Ku—band earth station—call sign KA258—to provide telemetry, tracking, and command ("TT&C®") services for Intelsat 1R ($2368) during its drift from 50.1° W.L. to 169.2° E.L." Intelsat 1R began drifting on January 4, 2017 and the drift will take approximately four months.? TT&C operations will continue to be performed in the following frequencies: 13995 MHz and 14498.5 MHz (Earth—to—space); and 11696 MHz and 11697 MHz (space—to—Earth). The drift operations will continue to be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the drift path." 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. The 24x7 contact information is as follows: Ph.: (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary) (310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up) Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell. ‘ 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"). * See e.g. Satellite Communications Services information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01945, File No. SES— STA—20170327—00339 (Apr. 5, 2017); Satellite Communications Services information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01936, File No. SES—STA—20170228—00216 (Mar. 8, 2017) (Public Notice). * See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01226, File No. SAT—STA—20161018—00099 (Mar. 24, 2017) (Public Notice) (granting the operation of Intelsat 1R to 168.2° E.L.); Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT—01208, File No. SAT—STA—20161018—00099 (Dec. 23, 2016) (Public Notice) (granting the drift of Intelsat 1R to 168.2° E.L.). * Intelsat will handle the coordination. intelsat Corporation 7900 Tysons One Place, Mclean, VA 22102—5972 USA www.intelsat.com T +1 703—559—6800

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch April 24, 2017 Page 2 In further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A, 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, or into Federal systems operating in the 13.75—14.00 GHz band. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA further extension request will allow Intelsat to continue drifting the Intelsat 1R satellite to its new location. This, in turn, will help Intelsat meet a potential service demand at 169.2° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—6949. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Cynthia J. Grady Cynthia J.
