ORDER ESTABLISHING PERIOD FOR SURREPLY
Adopted: April 22, 2010 Released:  April 22, 2010
By the Chief, International Bureau:
1.  On April 14, 2010, Intelsat LLC (Intelsat) was granted a one-week extension of time – until 
April 21, 2010 – to file reply comments on the Commission’s Section 646 of the Open-Market 
Reorganization for the Betterment of International Telecommunications Act (“the ORBIT Act”), 47 
U.S.C. § 646, report to Congress.1 In response to Intelsat’s request, ARTEL, Inc. (ARTEL) and 
Globecomm Systems Inc. (Globecomm), requested that interested parties have the opportunity to file 
surreplies to Intelsat’s reply comments.2 Intelsat filed its comments on April 21, 2010. For the reason 
discussed below, we grant ARTEL and Globecomm’s request and provide all interested parties the 
opportunity to respond. Interested parties have until April 28, 2010, to file their responses.
2.  We believe that the public interest would be best served by providing an opportunity to respond 
to Intelsat’s reply comments. This will result in a more complete discussion of the issues raised and 
facilitate a comprehensive record. We believe that providing interested parties with a short period in 
which to file responses appropriately balances the interests of the parties and will not unreasonably delay 
the preparation of a timely submission to Congress.  Accordingly, interested parties have until 
April 28, 2010 to file their responses.
3.  IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that pursuant to Section 1.46 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§ 1.46, ARTEL and Globecomm’s request to file surreplies in this proceeding is GRANTED to the extent 
indicated.
4.  This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.51 and 0.261 of the 
  
1 International Bureau Report to Congress Regarding The Orbit Act, Order Extending Comment Period, DA-10-
639A1, IB Docket No. 10-70 (April 14, 2010).
