    Dear Ms. Dortch:

          On October 26, 2001, the International Bureau issued DIRECTV Enterprises,
    LLC ("DIRECTV") authority to launch and operate the DIRECTV 48 satellite (call sign
    $2430). See DIRECTYV Enterprises, LLC, 16 FCC Red. 18530 (Int‘l Bur. 2001).
    However, DIRECTV can find no electronic record in the International Bureau Filing
    System of the date on which the satellite began commercial operation.

             Accordingly, DIRECTV hereby certifies that DIRECTV 48 began operations at
    its assigned orbital location of 101.2° W.L. as of December 27, 2001.

             If you have any questions, please direct them to me.

                                                              Sincerely yours,
