(20.0° W.L.) orbital location. Intelsat proposes to operate at 340.0º E.L. using the following Ku-band frequencies: 10950-11200 MHz, 11450-11700 MHz, 11700-11950 MHz, 12500-12750 MHz, and 14000-14500 MHz. Intelsat states that it seeks authorization to operate these Ku-band frequencies on NSS-5 as a substitute for the Ku-band payload of the Intelsat 603 satellite (call sign S2399), which is currently operating at 19.95° W.L. NSS-5 is currently licensed by the Netherlands. Intelsat requests waiver of Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) 25.283(c), 25.202(g), 25.164, and 25.165 the Commission's rules in connection with its request.
