PUBLIC NOTICE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 445 12th STREET S.W. WASHINGTON D.C. 20554 News media information 202-418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202-418-2830; Internet: http://www.fcc.gov (or ftp.fcc.gov) TTY (202) 418-2555 Report No. SAT-00368 Friday June 9, 2006 POLICY BRANCH INFORMATION Satellite Space Applications Accepted for Filing The applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing. The Commission reserves the right to return any of the applications if, upon further examination, it is determined the application is not in conformance with the Commission's rules or its policies. Consideration of each satellite application in this Public Notice may depend on the Commission's action on another satellite application earlier in the queue. Petitions, oppositions and other pleadings filed in response to this notice should conform to Section 25.154 of the Commission's rules, unless otherwise noted. 47 C.F.R. § 25.154. SAT-MOD-20060501-00052 E S2118 XM Radio Inc. Date Filed: 05/01/2006 18:27:46:93000 Modification XM Radio Inc. (XM Radio) seeks to modify the license of its S-band/X-band satellite, XM-1 (Call Sign S2118), in order to relocate it to the 85.2° W.L. orbital location from the 115.1° W.L. orbital location. Operations of the XM-1 satellite at the 115.1° W.L. orbital location are the subject of a separate request for special temporary authority (IBFS File No. SAT-STA-20060501-00051). XM Radio states that it will operate at the 85.2° W.L. orbital location with an east-west stationkeeping tolerance of ±0.05 degrees. After XM-1 is relocated to the 85.2° W.L. orbital location, it will cease transmitting and will serve as an in-orbit spare for the XM-3 satellite currently operating at the 85.1°W.L. orbital location. SAT-STA-20060501-00050 E XM Radio Inc. Date Filed: 05/01/2006 17:46:54:75000 Special Temporary Authority XM Radio Inc. (XM Radio) requests special temporary authority (STA) to (i) test the XM-4 satellite (Call Sign S2616) at the 110.7° W.L. orbital location for a period of 90 days following launch, and (ii) drift XM-4 to the 115° W.L. orbital location after testing is complete. Launch of the XM-4 satellite is currently expected to occur as early as September 2006. XM Radio seeks authority to operate the XM-4 satellite at the 110.7° W.L. orbital location with an east-west stationkeeping tolerance of ±0.10 degrees and accordingly requests a waiver of Section 25.210(j) of the Commission's rules, to the extent necessary. XM Radio also requests waiver of Section 25.114 of the Commission's rules to the extent that it requires a Schedule S to be filed with a space station STA request.
