Dear Ms. Dortch:

        On March 2, 2012, the International Bureau issued a public notice (DA 12-327) finding
that DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) has met the Contract Execution and Critical
Design Review milestones associated with its authorization for the DIRECTV-RB1 17/24 GHz
BSS satellite. In accordance with that public notice and Section 25.165 of the Commission’s
rules, DIRECTV has reduced the amount of the performance bond associated with that
authorization from $3,000,000 to $1,500,000, as evidenced by the attached materials.

       Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                             /s/
