Grant of the requested extension will serve the public interest. In support of this request, attached please find a modification application that serves as the verified statement justifying the extension as required by 47 CFR 25.117(e), a letter from Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems advising of the need for an extension, a FCC Form 159 and the required fees for a modification in the Direct Broadcast Satellite service. Should you have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Aby) f Sincerely, Benjamfn/. Griffin Christopher R.
