                                 Hagerstown, Maryland C—band Earth Station EO00355

            Dear Ms. Dortch:

            Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary
            Authority ("STA")‘ for 60 days, commencing from date of grant, to utilize its
            Hagerstown, Maryland C—band earth station —— call sign E000355 —— prior to
            grant of permanent operating authority. The antenna will communicate in the
            frequency bands 3700—4200 MHz (downlink) and 5925—6425 MHz (uplink) with
            the SES—4 satellite at 22.0° W.L.* Intelsat has a pending application for
            authority to use this antenna to transmit in the conventional C—band to satellites
            on the Permitted Space Station List on a permanent basis."

            In support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference its pending
            application for authority to use this antenna to transmit to Permitted List
            satellites on a permanent basis." The application contains detailed technical
            information (in Exhibits A, C, E, and F) 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 facility. In the
            extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will
            take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference.

            Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to commence a customer service
            using this earth station to communicate with the SES—4 satellite in accordance
            with the schedule that has been communicated to the customer, thereby serving
            the public interest. In addition, grant will provide the Commission with
