Intelsat states that Intelsat 23 will replace the Intelsat 707 space station that is currently operating at 307 E.L. and will operate in the following frequency bands that are currently authorized for use by Intelsat 707 at this location: 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space), 11.45-11.95 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space). In addition, Intelsat seeks to operate Intelsat 23 using the 11.95-12.2 GHz (space-to Earth) frequency band that was not previously authorized for use by Intelsat 707 at 307 E.L. and to conduct telemetry, tracking and telecommand operations using the following center frequencies: 6173.7 MHz, 6176.3 MHz, 3947.5 MHz, 3948 MHz, 3952 MHz, 3952.5 MHz. Intelsat does not seek authority to use the following frequencies that were authorized for use on Intelsat 707: 10.95-11.20 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 12.50-12.75 GHz (space-to-Earth). Intelsat also seeks a determination by the Commission that it has met its first three milestones for the new frequency band and may reduce the bond amount to $750,000. Intelsat seeks waivers of Section 25.210(a)(1), 25.210(a)(3), 25.210(i)(l) and 25.202(g) of the Commission's rules in connection with its application.

SES Americom, Inc. seeks a five-year extension, through October 15, 2016, of the license term for its AMC-1 space station, which is authorized to operate at 103 W.L. in the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space), 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands. In addition, SES requests authority to conduct telemetry, tracking and telecommand operations necessary to place AMC-1 into a disposal orbit at the end of its operational life. In connection with this request, SES seeks waivers of Sections 25.114(d)(14)(ii) and 25.283(c) of the Commission's rules.
