Koch Pipeline Company LP
Application for a Modification of Earth Station Authorization E900554

                                              Exhibit A
                       Application Description and Statement
                       Regarding Random Access Technique


This exhibit (1) provides a description of the application, and (2) sets forth Koch‘s report
that the new services to be added for use with this earth station will not transmit using
random access techniques and that it operates within antenna input power spectral
density.
Application Description
Koch Pipeline Company LP ("Koch") currently utilizes a geostationary fixed satellite
service ("FSS") Ku—band satellite to support duplex data communications networking,
known as supervisory control and data acquisition ("SCADA"), of pipeline assets in the
United States through the use of hub and remote VSAT earth stations and associated
networking equipment. Pursuant to this application, Koch seeks to modify the existing
fixed earth station authorization call sign E900554 to add new transmission parameters
for the existing 5.5 meter FSS Ku—band earth station antenna associated with the
upgrade of the current VSAT network to use the SkyEdge II platform supplied by
Spacenet Inc. ("Spacenet").

Koch‘s existing 5.5 meter hub earth station, located in Wichita, Kansas, communicates
with remote VSAT terminals licensed under call sign E900556. All existing and
requested new authorizations conform to Federal Communications Commission
regulations. Technical data presented in previous applications for call sign E900554 are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Koch wishes to retain all
current authorizations previously granted for this earth station authorization.

Random Access Technique and Maximum Power Spectral Density
As required by 47 C.F.R. § 25.130 (a)(3) & (4) and 47 C.F.R. § 25.134 (g)(1), we report
that this earth station will not employ transmissions utilizing random access techniques.
Rather, all transmissions will be frequency division multiple access ("FOMA"). Further,
all antenna input power spectral density transmission values requested herein are at or
below the —14 dBW/4kHz limit.

                        Application Description and Statement
                        Regarding Random Access Technique

Application Summary
A grant of this application will serve the public interest by enabling Koch to upgrade its
VSAT network technology at the existing Koch hub earth station facility in Wichita,
Kansas to support advanced SCADA applications in the United States using FSS Ku—
band geostationary satellites.
