                 APPLICATION FOR MINOR MODIFICATION OF
             AUTHORITY TO LAUNCH AND OPERATE DIRECTV KU-79W
                              Call Sign S2861

        DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) hereby requests a minor modification of its

authorization to launch and operate DIRECTV KU-79W (Call Sign S2861), a Ku-band satellite,

at the nominal 79° W.L. orbital location, solely with respect to the precise frequencies to be used

for telemetry, tracking and command (“TT&C) functions. 1 The table below sets forth the TT&C

frequencies authorized in the existing DIRECTV KU-79W authorization and the new

frequencies requested herein.

                                         Existing                               Requested

Command                                14000.5 MHz                            14001.0 MHz
                                       14496.5 MHz                            14496.5 MHz
Telemetry                             11700.25 MHz                           11700.75 MHz
                                      11701.25 MHz                           11702.25 MHz


The requested modification will serve the public interest by conforming the authorization to the

operational parameters of the satellite, and ensuring that DIRECTV can perform TT&C for the

satellite without causing harmful interference to any nearby operators.

        In accordance with Section 25.117(d)(1) of the Commission’s rules, DIRECTV hereby

certifies that the remaining information in its prior applications has not changed. In light of the

satellite’s impending launch, DIRECTV requests that this modification be granted as

expeditiously as possible.

    See Grant Stamp, IBFS File No. SAT-MOD-20140902-00098 (Nov. 20, 2014) (establishing TT&C
    frequencies). The changes proposed herein do not involve a request for additional orbital or spectrum
    resources, and thus should be deemed minor in nature. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.117(d)(2)(iii) (defining
    major modification requests that must be placed in a processing queue pursuant to Section 25.158).
