Re: Request for a 60 day Special Temporary Authority (STA)


Dear Mr. Blais,

         Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Rules and Regulations (‘Regulations") of the Federal
Communications Commission, Alaska Public Telecommunications Inc. seeks consideration for a request
for 60 day Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate a new earth station in Anchorage, AK.

         Alaska Public Telecommunications Inc. is requesting a 60 day STA to start satellite operations
while their permanent FSS C—band application (SES—LIC—20180125—00062/ E180008) is currently pending
with the Commission. Alaska Public Telecommunications Inc does not have terrestrial interconnections to
their regional affiliated stations, that serve the public interest, and therefore is requesting a 60 day STA to
keep broadcast programming on the air.

        Alaska Public Telecommunications Inc accordingly urgently requests that a 60 day STA be
granted so that the reliable broadcast service to the public in key rural regional areas can be satisfied and
maintained forthwith for the betterment of their communities.

         Thank you for your attention and help in this matter.




                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                    Q J&/Tfiw’/«/afi
                                                                    C.T.0.
