 geostationary-satellite orbit space station, AMC-1, to: (1) specify operations at the 129.15º W.L. orbital location, rather than at the 103.0° W.L.
 orbital location; (2) provide Fixed-Satellite Service, including direct-to-home service, at 129.15º W.L. in the conventional Ku-band frequencies
 of 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space); and (3) conduct telemetry, tracking, and command operations necessary
 to drift AMC-1 to, and maintain it at, the 129.15º W.L. orbital position using the following center frequencies: 3700.5 MHz (space-to-Earth),
 4199.5 MHz (space-to-Earth), 12.198 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 6423.5 MHz (Earth-to-space).

 On May 28, 2015, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the application of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC to modify the authorization for
 its DIRECTV KU-79W geostationary-satellite orbit space station. DIRECTV KU-79W was previously authorized to provide Fixed-Satellite
 Service in the 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands at the 78.8º W.L. orbital location. As a
 result of the modification, DIRECTV is authorized to conduct telemetry, tracking, and command functions necessary to operate DIRECTV
 KU-79W at the 78.8° W.L. orbital location using the following center frequencies: 11700.75 MHz and 11702.25 MHz (space-to-Earth) and
 14001 MHz (Earth-to-space)

 On May 28, 2015, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the application of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC, to conduct in-orbit testing of
 the DIRECTV 15 satellite (Call Sign S2930) at the 66.8 W.L. orbital location for a period of 30 days using the following frequency bands:
 28.35-28.6 GHz, 29.25-29.29 GHz, and 29.5-30.0 GHz (Earth-to-space), and 18.3-18.59 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz (space-to-Earth). DIRECTV
 is also authorized to conduct telemetry, tracking, and command operations necessary to drift the DIRECTV 15 to the 102.75° W.L. orbital
 location upon completion of in-orbit testing.
