                                Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) modifj its existing
                                special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate satellite digital audio radio service
                                (“satellite DARS”) terrestrial repeaters located in Denver, Colorado; Detroit,

                                and Washington, D.C. In addition, Sirius requests STA to operate 135 additional
                                repeaters throughout the country.

                                required Sirius to operate the repeaters “as specified in Exhibit A of the STA
                                request.”’ In August 2002, Sirius requested that the FCC modify its STA to operate
                                the Detroit, Springfield and D.C. repeaters?
