Exhibit B PETITION FOR WAIVER OF SECTIONS 25.137 AND 25.114 Pursuant to Section 25.137 of the Federal Communications Commission‘s ("Commission" or "FCC") rules, earth station applicants "requesting authority to communicate with a non—U.S. licensed space station" to serve the United States must demonstrate that U.S.—licensed satellite systems have effective competitive opportunities to provide analogues services in certain countries and must provide the same legal and technical information for the non—U.S.—licensed space station as required by Section 25.114 for U.S.—licensed space stations.‘ Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein seeks authority to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services—not commercial services—to the United States, and thus believes that Section 25.137 does not apply." To the extent the Commission determines, however, that Intelsat‘s request for authority to provide LEOP services on a special temporary basis is a request to serve the United States with a non—U.S.—licensed satellite, Intelsat respectfully requests a waiver of Sections 25.137 and 25.114 of the Commission‘s rules." The Commission may grant a waiver for good cause shown.* The Commission typically grants a waiver where the particular facts make strict compliance inconsistent with the public interest." In granting a waiver, the Commission may take into account considerations of hardship, equity, or more effective implementation of overall policy on an individual basis.© Waiver is therefore appropriate if special circumstances warrant a deviation from the general rule, and such a deviation will serve the public interest. In this case, good cause exists for a waiver of both Section 25.137 and Section 25.114 of the FCC‘s rules. With respect to Section 25.114, Intelsat seeks authority only to provide LEOP services for the IRNSS—11 satellite. The information sought by Section 25.114 is not relevant to LEOP services. Moreover, Intelsat does not have—and would not easily be able to obtain—such information because Intelsat is not the operator of the IRNSS—11I satellite, nor is Intelsat in contractual privity with that operator. Rather, an affiliate of Intelsat has a contract with Indian Space Research Organisation, the manufacturer of the IRNSS—11 satellite, to conduct LEOP services. ! 47 CF.R. § 25.137. * See EchoStar Satellite Operating Company Application for Special Temporary Authority Related to Moving the EchoStar 6 Satellitefrom the 77° W.L. Orbital Location to the 96.2° W. L. Orbital Location, and to Operate at the 96.2° W.L. Orbital Location, Order and Authorization, 28 FCC Red. 4229 (2013) (noting that operating TT&C earth stations in the United States with a foreign—licensed satellite does not constitute "DBS service"). 3 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.137 and 25.114. *47 C.F.R. § 1.3. ° N.E. Cellular Tel. Co. v. FCC, 897 F.2d 1164, 1166 (D.C. Cir. 1990) ("Northeast Cellular®). * WAIT Radio v. FCC, 419 F.2d 1153, 1159 (D.C. Cir. 1969); Northeast Cellular, 897 F.2d at 1166.

The information required under Section 25.114 of the FCC‘s rules is not necessary to determine potential harmful interference. The Schedule S information for this satellite would pertain to the operation of the IRNSS—11 satellite at its final orbital location. However, the present application for LEOP services involves communications prior to the satellite attaining its final location in the geostationary orbit. In other words, during the LEOP mission, the earth station will not be communicating with a satellite located in the geostationary orbit. Rather, it will be transmitting to a satellite traveling on its "transfer orbit" or "LEOP path," which starts immediately following its separation from a launch vehicle, and ends when the satellite reaches its geostationary orbital location. Moreover, as with any STA, Intelsat will perform the LEOP services on a non— interference basis. Because it is not relevant to the service for which Intelsat seeks authorization, and because obtaining the information would be a hardship, Intelsat seeks a waiver of all the information required by Section 25.114 of the Commission‘s rules. Intelsat has provided in this STA request the required technical information that is relevant to the LEOP services for which Intelsat seeks authorization. Good cause also exists to waive Section 25.137 of the agency‘s rules. Section 25.137 is designed to ensure that "U.S.—licensed satellite systems have effective competitive opportunities to provide analogous services" in other countries." Here, there is no service being provided by the satellite; it is simply being placed in its orbital location after separating from the launch vehicle. Thus, the purpose of Section 25.137 would not be served by applying these rules to LEOP services. For example, Section 25.137(d)(4) requires earth station applicants requesting authority to operate with a non—U.S.—licensed space station that is not in orbit and operating to post a bond.° The underlying purpose of Section 25.137(d)(4)—to provide parity between U.S.—licensed and non—U.S.—licensed commercial satellite systems in discouraging orbital location warehousing—would not be served by requiring Intelsat to post a bond to provide approximately 30 days of LEOP services to the IRNSS—11 satellite. It is Intelsat‘s understanding that IRNSS—11 is licensed by India, which is a WTO— member country. Thus, the purpose of Section 25.137—to ensure that U.S. satellite operators enjoy "effective competitive opportunities" to serve certain foreign markets—— will not be undermined by grant of this waiver request. Finally, Intelsat notes that it expects to operate with the IRNSS—11 satellite using its U.S. earth station for a period of approximately 30 days. Requiring Intelsat to obtain copious technical and legal information from an unrelated party, where there is no risk of harmful interference and the operations will cease after approximately 30 days, would pose undue hardship without serving underlying policy objectives. Given these particular facts, the waiver sought herein is plainly appropriate. 747 C.FR. § 25.137(a). 8 See 47 C.F.R. §25.137(d)(4).

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Fillmore, California Earth Station E4132 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)] for 30 days, commencing March 31, 2018, to use its Fillmore, California C—band earth station—call sign EA4132—to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System ("IRNSS") 11 satellite that, due to an unexpected delay, is now exyected to launch on March 31, 2018." Intelsat expects the LEOP period to last approximately 30 days. The IRNSS—11 LEOP operations will be performed at the following frequencies: 6415.0 MHz and 6423.496 MHz (RHCP) in the uplink, and 4188.768 MHz and 4196.928 MHz (LHCP) in the downlink. The LEOP operations will be coordinated with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP 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 for the IRNSS—11 LEOP mission 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, FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). > Intelsat previously filed and received a grant of STA to provide LEOP services for IRNSS—11. See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Public Notice, Report No. SES—02029, File No. SES—STA— 20180102—00003 (Jan. 24, 2018). Due to the unexpected launch delay, Intelsat requests a new STA grant. * The permanent orbital location and in—orbit testing location for IRNSS—11, which Intelsat understands is licensed by India, will be 55.0° E.L. * Indian Space Research Organisation, the manager of the IRNSS—1I LEOP mission, will handle the coordination.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch March 5, 2018 Page 2 In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith attaches Exhibits A and B, which contain a coordination report and waiver requests. 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. Finally, Intelsat clarifies that during the IRNSS—11 launch, the Indian Space Research Organisation ("ISRO") will control the spacecraft. ISRO will build and send the commands to the Intelsat antenna, which will process and execute the commands. Telemetry received by Intelsat will be forwarded to ISRO. Intelsat will remain in control of the baseband unit, RF equipment, and antenna. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the IRNSS—11 satellite. This, in turn, will help provide services to India and neighboring areas from the 55.0° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—7848. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Susan H. Crandall Susan H. Crandall Associate General Counsel Intelsat Corporation co: Paul Blais
