                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat"), by its attorneys and pursuant to Sections 25.164
                          and 25.165(d) of the Commussion‘s rules, requests a reduction in the amount ofits
                          bond for the above—referenced satellite license‘ based on the information in the
                          record of this proceeding demonstrating that Intelsat has satisfied two additional
                          milestone obligations. Specifically, Intelsat requests a finding from the
                          Commussion that Intelsat is entitled to reduce the amount of its performance bond
                          for this satellite from $2.25 million to $750,000. The Intelsat 30 bond is currently
                          due on September 13, 2014. Intelsat respectfully requests an expedited finding as
                          soon as possible so that it may take the business and financial steps required to post
                          a $750,000 bond by this deadline.

                          As part of the grant of the Intelsat 30 application, the Commission determined that
                          Intelsat had met the first milestone." In response to a request from staff, Intelsat
                          provided in a supplement filed on July 28, 2014 documentation to demonstrate that
                          it has met the next two milestones — critical design review and commence
                          construction. These materials included photographs of the satellite, a certification
                          that Intelsat had met its payment obligations and confidential copies of the
                          Statement of Work and Spacecraft Performance Specification. Construction of the
                          Intelsat 30 satellite is now complete. The satellite is expected to be shipped to the
