  Re:       Request for Further Extension of Special Temporary Authority for
            Galaxy 15, Call Sign $2387

  Dear Ms.'Dortch:

  PanAmSat Licensee Corp. ("PanAmSat"), pursuant to Section 25.210 of the
  rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission"),"
  herein requests an additional 30 days, from October 6, 2010 through November
  4, 2010, of the Special Temporary Authority ("STA") previously granted
  PanAmSat to conduct Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) operations _
  ‘on the Galaxy 15 satellite (call sign $2387) outside of the +/— 0.05° East/West
  station—keeping box gursuant to a waiver of Section 25.210(j) of the                                '
  Commission‘s rules.

  As PanAmSat previously has informed the International Bureau ("Bureau")
  staff, on April 5, 2010, the Galaxy 15 satellite suffered an anomaly of
  unknown origin. Due to this anomaly, the satellite has drifted outside of its ~


  ‘ 47 C.F.R. § 25.210.

  filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System.

 authorlzed +/— 0.05° East/West station—keeping box pursuant to STA.* During
 the time period covered by this STA request, Galaxy 15 will be located
 between approx1mately 114.152°W.L. and 108.825° W.L.

— Grant of this STA further extension request is in the pubhc interest. The
 Commission may grant waiver for good cause shown.‘ The Commission
 typically grants a waiver where the partlcular 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.

 Good cause exists in this case based on hardship. Due to the technical
 anomaly on the Galaxy 15 satellite, PanAmSat is unable to comply with the
 requirements of Section 25.210(j) of the Commission‘s rules. PanAmSat will,
 however, continue to take all practicable steps to coordinate the safe operation
 of Galaxy 15.
