 Dear Ms. Dortch:

                  On November 29, 2006, the International Bureau granted EchoStar Satellite L.L.C.
 ("EchoStar") authority to construct a new Direct Broadcast Satellite service satellite to be operated at
 86.5° W.L. EchoStar Satellite L.L.C., DA 06—2440, Order and Authorization, File No. SAT—LOA—
 20030609—00113 (rel. Nov. 29, 2006). As a condition of the grant, EchoStar is required to submit all
 information needed to modify the ITU‘s Appendix 30 Broadcasting—Satellite Service ("BSS") Plans and
 the associated Appendix 30A feeder link Plans to incorporate the characteristics of its new satellite. Id4.
 at 4 28, condition d. The Order also states that EchoStar will be held responsible for any cost recovery
 fees associated with these ITU filings. /d

                  In fulfillment of these conditions, EchoStar hereby submits a computer disk containing
 six files, which provide all ofthe information required to modify the ITU‘s Appendix 30 BSS Plans and
 the associated Appendix 30A feeder link Plans. EchoStar is also providing, as Attachment A, a printout
 of the Appendix 4 information included in the USABSS—27.mdb file included on the disk. Finally,
 EchoStar is submitting a letter accepting responsibility for any cost recovery fees associated with the
 ITU filings. See Attachment B.

 Dear Ms. Dortch:

                   This letter is submitted on behalf of EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. ("EchoStar") in connection
 with EchoStar‘s proposed satellite network USABSS—27 at the 86.5° W orbital location. See EchoStar
 Satellite L.L.C., DA 06—2440, Order and Authorization, File No. SAT—LOA—20030609—00113 (rel. Nov.
 29, 2006).
                 EchoStar is aware that as a result of the actions taken at the 1998 Plenipotentiary
 Conference, processing fees will now be charged by the International Telecommunication Union
 ("ITU‘") for satellite network filings. As a consequence, Commission applicants are responsible for any
 and all fees charged by the ITU. EchoStar hereby states that it is aware of and unconditionally accepts
 this requirement and its responsibility to pay any ITU cost recovery fees associated with the
 aforementioned ITU filing at the appropriate time. In addition, all correspondence with EchoStar
 regarding ITU cost recovery issues should be directed to the undersigned.

                  Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this submission.




                                                          Counselfor EchoStar Satellite LL.C.
