Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 28, 2019 Page 2 provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs. 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. The 24x7 contact information for the drift of Jntelsat 904 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 Bumham or Kevin Bell. In further support of this extension request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A of its original STA request, 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 drift Intelsat 904 to its new location. This, in turn, will allow Intelsat to provide new capacity from the 29.5° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the public interest. For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant this STA extension request. Please direct any questions regarding this request to (703) 559-6949.
