Request For Extension of Special Temporary Authority Hawaii Pacific Teleport, L.P. (“HPT”), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120, requests an extension to its special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate E010236 pursuant to STA granted on September 21, 2018 to continue until November 20, 2018 (SES-STA-20180917-02772). The STA is to support Eutelsat S.A. (“Eutelsat”) in the communication with EUTELSAT 133WA for testing and validating services necessary to commence operations. HPT intends to file a modification application to request permanent authority to operate utilizing EUTELSAT 133WA, however, is awaiting the final results of the Frequency Coordination Studies and other engineering reports and will file the modification application promptly upon its receipt. Eutelsat was previously granted conditional access to the U.S. market via its Ku-band space station, EUTELSAT 133WA, at the 132.85˚ W.L. orbital location. See Call Sign S3031; IBFS File No. SAT-PPL-20180302-00018, granted August 16, 2018. This grant included 11.45 – 11.7 GHz (space-to-Earth). Eutelsat has filed a modification of the original grant on September 8, 2018, to repoint existing beams and add new beams to cover Hawaii and to explicitly include the 11.2-11.45 GHz band in the market access grant. See IBFS File No. SAT-MPL-20180908- 00068. HPT herein incorporates by reference to the extent necessary all the information provided in the Eutelsat filings relating to S3031. The operations proposed with HPT’s 8.1 meter Ku‐band antenna are in the public interest, as the requested authority will continue to facilitate the safe operation of EUTELSAT 133WA. HPT would be testing and validating services to commence operations. There is a shortage of capacity in the area and customers are ready to commence operations on E133WA. Therefore, the public interest would be served by approving this request. {01259227‐1 }
