(Sirius XM), for a period of 180 days, to continue to operate previously authorized terrestrial repeaters for use in the 2320—2345 MHz frequency band, as set forth in the above—referenced applications. This authorization is granted according to the technical parameters specified in these applications and is subject to the conditions below. 1. Any actions taken as a result of these STAs are solely at the applicant‘s own risk. These STAs shall not prejudice the outcome of the final rules adopted by the Commission in IB Docket No. 95— 91. 2. SDARS terrestrial repeaters are restricted to the simultaneous retransmission of the complete programming, and only that programming, transmitted by the SDARS licensee‘s satellite(s) directly to the SDARS licensee‘s subscribers‘ receivers, and may not be used to distribute any information not also transmitted to all subscribers‘ receivers. 3. Coordination of the operations of the terrestrial repeaters shall be completed with all affected Administrations prior to operation, in accordance with all applicable international agreements including those with Canada and Mexico. 4. The terrestrial repeaters shall comply with Part 17 of the Commission‘s rules — Construction, Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures. 5. The terrestrial repeaters shall comply with Part 1 of the Commission‘s rules, Subpart I — Procedures Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, including the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as defined in Sections 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 of the Commission‘s rules. 6. Any SDARS terrestrial repeater operating at a power level greater than 2—watt average EIRP is required to attenuate its out—of—band emissions below the transmitter power P by a factor of not less than 90 + 10 log (P) dB in a 1—megahertz bandwidth outside the 2320—2345 MHz band, where P is average transmitter output power in watts. Any SDARS terrestrial repeater operating at a power level equal to or less than 2—watt average EIRP is required to attenuate its out—of—band emissions below the transmitter power P by a factor of not less than 75 + 10 log (P) dB in a 1—megahertz bandwidth outside the 2320—2345 MHz band, where P is average transmitter output power in watts. 7. These STAs expire after 180 days, or on the date that permanent authority to operate the covered repeater operations becomes effective, whichever occurs first. 8. Sirius XM is granted 30 days from the date of the release of this authorization to decline the authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within that period will constitute formal acceptance of the authorization as conditioned. 9. This action is taken on delegated authority pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 0.261 and is effective upon release. Petitions for reconsideration under 47 C.F.R. § 1.106 or applications for review under 47 C.F.R. § 1.115 may be filed within 30 days of the date of the Public Notice announcing this action. ‘_z-; See abovg_ | 5se .o3 /s/ho gee ae 09/)5/“) nditions condition ¥wth corditi ons Step Iy/JS Dual\ CmeL, Satellite Pohc\;j Branch

("Sirius"), one of the two satellite digital audio radio service ("satellite DARS") licensees in the United States, hereby requests an extension of the special temporary authority ("STA") the Commission granted it on December 29, 2003." Sirius requests an extension of this STA for 180 days or until such time as the Commussion issues final rules governing the use of satellite DARS terrestrial repeaters." Grant of Sirius‘ extension request would serve the public interest by allowing Sirtus to continue its roll—out of uniformly high quality commercial satellite DARS programming nationwide. Attached as an Exhibit is a list of sites in which Sirtus operates terrestrial repeaters pursuant to this STA and for which Sirius seeks an extension of its STA. Sirius has included the following information for each of the repeaters it operates I 47 CER. § 25.120. 2 See Public Notice, Report No. SAT—00184, Jan. 7, 2004. In this Public Notice, the Commission granted a request for STA filed by Sirius in August 2002, File No. SAT—STA— 20020827—00248, and a request for STA filed by Sirius in August 2003, File No. SAT—STA— 20030827—00299. 3 Establishment ofRules and Policies for the Digital Audio Radio Satellite Service in the 2310—2360 MHz Frequency Band, Report and Order Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 12 FCC Red 5754, 5810—12 (1997) ("Terrestrial Repeater NPRM").

WileyRein & Fielding us Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 23, 2004 j Page 2 pursuant to its STA: (1) geographic coordinates; (2) antenna type; (3) antenna orientation; (4) antenna radiation pattern vertical downtilt; (5) total EIRP; and (6) height Above Ground Level (AGL). For the same reasons that grant of Sirius‘ original STA request served the public interest, grant of Sirius‘ request to extend its STA will serve the public interest." The extension will allow Sirfus to continue to offer "high quality radio signals to listeners in areas that have limitedradio service," and ensure that no reduction in the quality of this service occurs." Further, grant of the extension request would allow the public to continue to take advantage of long—awaited satellite DARS service, which offers both an increase in listening choices and greatly improved digital quality sound. In granting Sirius‘ original request, the Commission itself noted that "Sirius has proceeded with satellite construction, has in fact launched both of its satellites, and needs to employ terrestrial repeaters to provide adequate service" and that it has not yet issued final rules governing the operation of satellite DARS terrestrial repeaters." The FCC concluded that "this situation has created the extraordinary circumstances required by the statute and our rules to justify grant of an STA" and noted that "it would be unfair to penalize Sirtus for complying with our required milestone schedule on the one hand but on the other hand force it to seriously delay initiation of service because there are no final repeater rules.""" These considerations apply with equal force here as the FCC still has not issued final repeater rules. Sirfus has established that its terrestrial repeaters will not cause harmful interference to other radio services." Nevertheless, Sirius will continue to comply with the condition placed upon its STA that it protect "all existing authorized * Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.

In accordance with Part 17 of the Commission‘s Rules, Sirius has or will notify the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") of antenna structures for which such notification is required. 47 C.F.R. § § 17.7—17.17. As Strius‘ extension request is timely filed, Strius understands that, pursuant to Section 1.62 of the FCC‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.62, its STA will continue in effect without further action by the Commission until such time as the Commission shall make a final determination with respect to its request. Sirius urges the FCC to grant its extension request. ° See Public Notice, Report No. SAT—00184, Jan. 7, 2004 {requiring Sirius to comply with "terms and conditions set forth in the Sirius STA Order)y;, Sirius STA Order, § 13, 18(b). 10 Sirius STA Order, § 18(c).
