           Attachment to FCC STA Application
           Request for Special Temporary Authority

         On behalf of ESPN Productions, Inc. ("ESPN"‘), this letter requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA")
to operate in UHF frequencies 470 to 476 & 482 to 488 MHz in order to coordinate event emergencies,
transportation, security and safety conditions in connection with ESPN‘s live coverage of the 2015 World of X
Games to be held in Walker, Michigan from August 3rd through August 30th, 2015. ESPN has monitored the
requested frequencies to insure that there is no interference with local licensed users.

          The X Games events are an annual event attracting an extremely large spectator crowd. Crowd control,
potential safety hazards and the need for effective radio communications for coordination are necessary. Frequency
distribution will be utilized for operations, security, crowd management and first aid coordination‘s. Operations on
the proposed frequencies will be monitored on a 24—hour basis, and it is understood that authorization is secondary
in nature. There will be (200) UHF 4 watt handheld radios utilized to provide adequate radio coverage of the event
area.

       ESPN has coordinated this use of this spectrum with the SBE Frequency Coordinator of record for the
Walker, Michigan area and has received approval.

         The applicant hereby certifies that no party of this application is subject to denial of federal benefits
pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §853(a).

        If there are any questions concerning this request, please contact Eleanor DeVane of the ESPN, Inc. Legal
Department at (860) 766—4667 (Facsimile 860—766—2423) and for questions of a technical nature, please contact
