September 24, 2009 BY ELECTRONIC FILING Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: IBFS File No. SAT-LOA-20090807-00086 (S2797) Dear Ms. Dortch: Upon further review, DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) has become aware of a typographical error contained in the Schedule S submitted with the above referenced application. Specifically, a telecommand frequency set forth in Table S9 includes 29495 MHz. The correct frequency is 29497 MHz. DIRECTV requests that its application be revised to reflect this minor technical correction. In addition, DIRECTV would also like to clarify one aspect of its application with respect to the spot beam information supplied therein. Although the DIRECTV 12 satellite has been designed with a total of 49 spot beams, only 44 of those beams will be used from the nominal 103° W.L. orbital location that is the subject of the pending application. As discussed in footnote four of the narrative, the satellite has been designed with the capability of performing the spot beam missions of either DIRECTV 10 at 103° W.L. or DIRECTV 11 at 99° W.L. (should it be repositioned to that orbital location at some time in the future). Accordingly, five of the 49 beams for which information has been submitted will not actually operate at 103° W.L. under the current authorization. The beams that will not operate at 103° W.L. are designated A1B8, A2B3, A2B7, A4B9 and A4BD in Schedule S. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully submitted, /s/ William M.
