Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 International Bureau December 30, 2002 Mr. Robert D. Briskman Technical Executive Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. 1221 Avenue of the Americas 36" Floor New York, NY 10020 Re: In the Matter of Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc., Application for Special Temporary Authority to Operate Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service Complementary Terrestrial Repeaters, File No. SAT—STA—20010724—00064. Dear Mr. Briskman: This letter confirms that our Order of October 15, 2001 (DA 01—2383), which modified Sirius‘ Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate terrestrial repeaters, contains a typographical error. Specifically, the Order references Sirius‘ previous grant of special temporary authority to operate repeaters "in the 2332.5—2345 MHz frequency band."‘ The 2332.5—2345 MHz band, however, is assigned exclusively to XM Radio, Inc. for its SDARS operations.2 The October 15 Order does not intend to alter in any way the frequency bands in which the SDARS licensees operate. Rather, the first sentence of the October 15 Order should reference Sirius‘ special temporary authority to operate terrestrial repeaters within its dedicated spectrum in the 2320—2332.5 MHz frequency band. \ Order, DA 01—2383 at para. 1 (citing Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc., Application for Special Temporary Authority to Operate Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service Complementary Terrestrial Repeaters, Order and Authorization, DA 01—2171, 16 FCC Red 16773 (Int‘l Bur. 2001)). * See American Mobile Radio Corp., Application for Authority to Construct, Launch, and Operate Two Satellites in the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service, Order and Authorization, DA 97—2210, 13 FCC Red 8829 (Int‘l Bur. 1997).

I hope that this letter resolves any uncertainty that might arise from the typographical error. A copy of this letter will be filed in the record of the above—captioned proceeding, and notice will be given to the public concerning the availability of this letter for inspection. Sincerely, Jennifer M. Gilsenan Chief, . Policy Branch Satellite Division ce: Carl Frank Heather Dixon Wiley, Rein & Fielding LLP
