Washington, DC 20554 Re: EchoStar Satellite Corporation FCC File No. 139—SAT—STA—96 Directsat Corporation FCC File No. 138—SAT—STA—96 Dear Mr. Caton: On August 16, 1996, this office, on behalf of TEMPO Satellite, Inc. ("TEMPO"), filed a petition to deny the applications of EchoStar Satellite Corporation ("EchoStar") and Directsat Corporation ("Directsat") referenced above for temporary authority to use direct broadcast satellite frequencies allocated to TEMPO at 119° W.L. On August 26, 1996, EchoStar and Directsat responded to TEMPO‘s petition by filing a pleading styled as a "Joint Reply." Pursuant to Section 25.154(d) of the Commission‘s Rules, which by Public Notice Report No. SPB—53 (July 17, 1996) expressly governs the pleading cycle for the applications, TEMPO has the right to submit a reply pleading "within 5 days after the time for filing oppositions has expired unless the Commission otherwise extends the filing deadline...." Because the filing date for oppositions is August 29, 1996, TEMPO may file a reply by September 6, 1996. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.4(g), (h); 25.154(d).

William F. Caton Page 2 August 28, 1996 TEMPO assumes that the "Joint Reply" of EchoStar and Directsat constitutes their opposition to TEMPO‘s petition. Accordingly, this is to advise the Commission that TEMPO intends to file a reply by September 6, 1996, to EchoStar and Directsat, and to any other party filing a timely opposition. Please contact the undersigned if there are any questions. submitted, CcC: Donald H. Gips, Chief, International Bur. (by hand) Thomas Tycz, Chief, Satellite and Radiocommunication Div. (by hand) .
