           Re:         Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority
                       Riverside, California Earth Station EO60384

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests an additional 30 days of Special Temporary Authority
("STA")‘ previously granted Intelsat to use its Riverside, California Ku—band earth station—call sign
E060384—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 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").

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
