 Special  Temporary  Authority 
 SES  Americom,  Inc.  SAT-  STA-  20030327-  00041  E 


 SES  AMERICOM,  Inc.  has  filed  a  request  for  special  temporary  authority  to  permit  it  to  test  its  AMC-  9  spacecraft  at  81.9º  W.  L.  for  a 
 period  of  up  to  sixty  days  following  launch.  SES  AMERICOM  asserts  that  temporary  operation  of  AMC-  9  at  81.9º  W.  L.  will  in  no 
 way  interfere  with,  or  adversely  affect,  the  operation  of  any  other  carrier’s  spacecraft.  SES  AMERICOM  seeks  expedited  action  on 
 this  request  because  AMC-  9  is  scheduled  for  launch  on  April  28,  2003. 


 NOTE:  Comments  on  this  request  may  be  filed  on  or  before  April  11,  2003.  Reply  comments  may  be  filed  on  or  before  April  18, 
 2003.
