Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12 th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Comments of the Communications Secretariat (Republic of Argentina) to File Nos. SAT—LOA—20120316—00051, and SAT—AMD—20120420—00071.— PIRECTV ENTERPRISES, LLC (Application for Authorization to launch and operate DIRECTV KU—7IW Space Station ) .— Dear Ms. Dortch: The Communications Secretariat of Republic of Argentina (Argentina) has noted about the request of DIRECTV Enterprises LLC (Directv or the Petitioner) to launch and operate a geostationary satellite in the Ku band at 79 ° W.L. On this particular, we refer to the Coordination Agreement of the Argentine Satellite operator {currently Empresa Argentina de Soluciones Satelitales S.A. AR—SAT) at §1° W.L. and SES Americom at 79° and 83° W.L. (signed on March 14—16, 2007), ratified by the administrations of the United States of America and the Republic of Argentina in the Coordination Agreement dated March 29, 2007, pursuant to the procedure established by the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union —ITU. The Agreement stipulates equivalent isotropically irradiated power (EIRP) maximum levels of 53 dBW with respect to operations at 79.0 ° W.L. (see appendix 5, paragraph 4 {specific conditions) of the Agreement). oT =~~ The application submifted by Directv proposes operations that exceed the limits of the Agreement. The petifioner states in page 5 ofthe Narrative related to the application that: "The emission designator for transmissions in the uplink and downlink will be 36M0G7W. The allocated bandwidth for these emissions is 36 MHz." Also, the Petitioner indicates in page A—2 of the Narrative, that they intend to use an EJIRP of 54.0 dBW/36 MHz. Based on these observations, Argentina notes that the request of Directv must comply with the parameters established in the referenced Coordination Agreement.

See appendix 5, paragraph 3 (general conditions) of the Agreement. Argentina respecifully requests that the above considerations, based on the requirement to respect the Agreements subscribed by the administration of both countries and to serve the public interest, be taken into consideration. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our support for all the licensing procedures and efforts that maximize the efficient use ofthe orbital and spectrum resources in the Americas region.
