Operations will be under the following conditions: 1. TT&C operations with the coordinated power emission carrier 800KFID in the uplink frequencies and the coordinated emission carrier 300KG7D in the downlink frequencies. 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. 3. In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of STA, SES Americom, E170090 must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of such an event. 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 measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the earth station‘s power flux density levels exceed the specified guidelines. ' 5. The licensee 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.fec.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. 6.

12. Description SES Americom, Inc. requests to extend its special temporary authority to operate the Ku—band earth station located in its South Mountain, CA teleport (E170090) described in file number SES—LIC— 20170407—00375 for an additional 60 days to provide TT&C and communications service for SES—10, which is located at 66.9 W.L., pending action on the license application. See attached narrative.

STA Request SES Americom, Inc. ("SES") respectfully requests an extension of its special temporary authority ("STA") (granted under File No. SES—STA—20170412—00397) for an additional 60 days to continue operating the Ku—band earth station (E170090) described in file number SES—LIC— 20170407—00375 prior to action on that application. The antenna is currently being used to provide TT&C and communications service for SES—10, which is located at 66.9° W.L. The original STA expired on July 11, 2017, and due to an oversight a request to extend the authority was not timely filed. SES regrets this oversight and seeks to obtain additional STA to continue operating the earth station while the underlying application is pending. The earth station operations are critical for the safe operation of SES—10 and therefore it is in the public interest to extend the STA until action is taken on the underlying application.
