P: 202—380—1383 F: 202—380—4981 Via IBFS eE 00 C Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: XM Radio Inc. Renewal of Special TemporaryAuthority to Operate a Low Power Repeater in Torrance, California File No. SAT—STA—20080430—00095 Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s Rules," XM Radio Inc. ("XM Radio") hereby requests renewal of the above—referenced Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate a low power terrestrial repeater with an Effective Isotropically Radiated Power ("EIRP") of 2000 watts in Torrance, California (the "Repeater"). Absent renewal, this STA is scheduled to expire on December 28, 2008. XM Radio requests that the Commission renew this STA for a period of 180 days or until the Commission issues a blanket license for the Repeater. Because this request is timely, XM Radio understands that, pursuant to Section 1.62 of the Rules, this 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 this request." XM Radio currently operates the Repeater in its licensed frequency band (2332.5— 2345 MHz) pursuant to the STA granted by the International Bureau on February 5, 2008. XM Radio has not changed technical parameters for the Repeater since the original grant of the STA and is not herein requesting modification of any of those parameters. j Renewing this STA will serve the public interest by allowing XM Radio to continue to provide a clear signal to the North American Operations Headquarters facility for Toyota Motor Sales, in Torrance, California. As XM Radio noted in its original application for this repeater, this facility extends eleven city blocks and houses Toyota employees who are involved in product development, product planning, marketing, and ! See 47 C.F. R. § 25.120. * See 47 C.FR. § 1.62.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch December 18, 2008 Page 2 related activities. As such, these individuals need to receive a quality XM signal for purposes such as monitoring the XM signal, developing dealer kits, and assisting in planning of integrating XM services in the next generation Toyota vehicles. XM Radio has been using the Repeater authorized under this STA for 180 days and is not aware of any incidents where it has caused any interference to other radio services. XM Radio emphasizes that the Repeaters operate at a power level of not more than 0.5 watts and at a level which is unlikely to cause any interference. XM Radio will continue to comply with the conditions the Commission imposed in granting the above—referenced STA to operate the Repeater. These conditions and the technical parameters of the Repeater have provided sufficient protection to other radio services. Therefore, prompt grant of XM Radio‘s renewal request will allow for the continued reception of the SDARS signal in Torrance, California. Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Very truly yours, mesS. Bli Vice President, Regulatory Counsel ce: Stephen Duall, FCC
