Ms. Marlene H. Dortch October 17, 2018 Page 2 In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A, provided with its original request,4 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. 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 extension request will allow Intelsat to help launch and test the Horizons 3e satellite. This, in turn, will help provide additional capacity to customers at the 169.0° E.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. Please direct any questions regarding this STA extension request to the undersigned at (703) 559- 6949. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Cynthia I Grady Cynthia J.
