        Application of Sirius XM Radio Inc. for Special Temporary Authority
                     IBFS File No. SAT—STA—20090612—00069

Special temporary authority (STA) is granted to Sirius XM Radio Inc. (Sirius XM) to
operate, for a period of 60 days, four terrestrial repeaters having an average Effective
Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) of up to 2000 watts for use on the XM network
(2332.5—2345 MHz) and one terrestrial repeater having an average EIRP of up to 2000
watts for use on the Sirius network (2320—2332.5 MHz) in Cincinnati, Ohio, as set forth in
Sirius XM‘s application.       This authorization is granted according to the technical
parameters specified in Sirius XM‘s application and is subject to the conditions below.
1. Any actions taken as a result of this STA are solely at the applicant‘s own risk. This
   STA shall not prejudice the outcome of the final rules adopted by the Commission in
   IB Docket No. 95—91. The issue concerning EIRP raised by the WCS Coalition will be
   addressed in that proceeding. Operations prior to such action will be subject to
   condition 2 below.

                 Request for 60—Day Special Temporary Authority to Modify Terrestrial
                 Repeaters in Cincinnati, Ohio

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3), Sirius XM
Radio Inc. ("Sirius XM"),‘ a satellite radio licensee in the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service,
hereby requests 60—Day Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate in its licensed frequency
band five low power terrestrial repeaters, each of which has average Effective Isotropically
Radiated Power ("EIRP") of up to 2000 watts, in the area of Cincinnati, Ohio. Specifically, this
application seeks authority to operate four low power repeaters in the former XM Radio Inc.
("XM") frequency band (2332.5—2345 MHz) and one low power repeater in the former Sirius
Satellite Radio Inc. ("Sirius") frequency band (2320—2332.5 MHz).

This application seeks emergency authority to operate the terrestrial repeaters identified herein for
60 days or until such time as the underlying 180 STA request is granted, in order to minimize




        Pursuant to the merger to which the Commission consented in Applications ofXM Satellite
Radio Holdings Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. for Consent to Transfer Control ofLicenses,
Memorandum Opinion and Order and Report and Order, 23 FCC Red 12348 (2008), Sirius XM is
the parent company of XM Radio Inc. Satellite CD Radio Inc., the corporate entity holding Sirius‘s
satellite authorizations, is also a subsidiary of Sirius XM.

disruption of service to subscribers in Cincinnati, Ohio." On April 26, 2009, Sirius XM became
aware of severe damage to the XM network repeater identified as CINO25C, disabling the repeater‘s
operation. Since that time, Sirius XM has been evaluating the damage to the site and conducting
testing of alternate sites to determine the best way to reestablish service in the area.

Prior to the loss of service on CINO25C, this repeater had operated as a critical site providing
service to over 171,000 people in and traveling through downtown Cincinnati. The impact of
losing the CINO25C site has been to deprive a large portion of the downtown Cincinnati area of the
ability to receive reliable satellite radio service.

After a full inspection of the site, our engineers determined there had been a catastrophic failure of
the EW20 wave—guide cabling running up the 800 ft tower. While the engineers are uncertain what
caused this failure, they suspect it was due to a weakening of the cable or a loosening of supports
that ultimately gave way following wind damage from severe weather.

Based on multiple factors —— the prohibitive cost to repair the damaged wave guide, the urgent need
to modify the repeater in compliance with the XM Consent Decree," the tower‘s potentially over—
stressed status, and the difficulties of negotiating a lease modification with the tower owner — Sirius
XM has now decided to permanently discontinue operations at the CINO25C site. As an alternative,
the company believes it can mitigate the service disruption to the impacted subscribers by
reconfiguring our existing repeater network in the Cincinnati market to restore service to much of
the area originally covered prior to the loss of CINO25C. The instant application would implement
that reconfiguration, by modifying three existing XM network repeater sites, adding a new XM site,
and modifying a Sirius network repeater to be collocated with the new XM site.




    * In the near future, Sirius XM plans to file a request for Special Temporary Authority to
operate these same repeaters for 180 days pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(2). Due to the urgency
of the instant request, Sirius XM proposes to operate all of the repeaters requested herein at no more
than 2000 watts ERP. However, the request for 180 day STA may seek higher power for one or
more of the repeaters sought herein, due to the need to fully restore repeater coverage for Cincinnati
area subscribers.
    * The XM Consent Decree had identified the CINO25C repeater as one that was to be turned
off or modified by October 4, 2008. See 23 FCC Red. 12327, at Attachment C (2008) Sirius XM
intended to modify this repeater, but instead had to request STA to allow it to continue operating at
existing parameters while the company resolved leasing issues with the landlord and obtained an
updated structural analysis. See FCC File No. SAT—STA—20081002—00198 (gtd. Oct. 3, 2008)
(authorizing CINO25C‘s continued operation at variance from its authorized parameters); SAT—
STA—20081029—00212 (gtd. Nov. 10, 2008) (extending authority through Dec. 10, 2008), and
SAT—STA—20081205—00224 (subsequent extension which remains pending).

The Commission has recognized that SDARS operators require terrestrial repeaters to provide high—
quality service nationwide." Consistent with this policy, in September 2001, the Bureau granted
STAs to Sirius XM to operate a nationwide network of terrestrial repeaters." In the years since, the
Bureau has granted Sirius XM additional STAs to operate terrestrial repeaters, pending issuance of
final rules governing the deployment and use of repeaters."

Public Interest Considerations. In light of the history described above, grant of the STA will serve
the public interest by enabling Sirius XM to resume the provision of service and minimize
disruption to residents of the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Damage to the CINO25C site was sudden,
unforeseen, unpreventable given standard engineering practices, and served to deprive service to
existing customers. The STA grant sought herein will allow Sirius XM to again provide the signal
quality that its subscribers expect.

pertaining to the repeaters is provided in Exhibit A: (1) antenna type; (2) antenna orientation;
(3) average EIRP; (4) height above ground level ("AGL"); and (5) antenna downtilt.‘ Exhibits B
and C consist of respectively, Google*Y satellite images and topographic maps showing the location
of the proposed facilities. The specification sheet for the antennas to be used by the repeaters is
attached as Exhibit D.

Interference Considerations. The low power repeaters will each operate at an average EIRP of less
than 2000 watts. Because Sirius XM has exclusive use of its licensed band and because the
requested STA would represent a decrease in power for several existing repeaters, it is highly
unlikely that these changes will create interference to otherlicensees." To the extent Sirius XM‘s
original 2001 STAs require it to coordinate with affected Wireless Communications Services
("WCS") licensees prior to operating any repeater," Sirius XM is sending a copy of this STA
application to Horizon Wi—Com LLC ("Horizon") in satisfaction of this coordination requirement.m
Moreover, as the Bureau acknowledged in granting Sirius XM‘s original repeater STA requests, the
WCS licensees have confirmed that operating terrestrial repeaters at an EIRP of 2 KW or less is not




    ‘ For purposes of this and future Sirius XM and XM Radio repeater STA applications,
"antenna downtilt" refers to an antenna‘s mechanical downtilt, without reference to any electrical
downtilt built into the antenna.
       Ending operations at the CINO25C site means that as part of the changes requested in this
STA, Sirius XM has already turned off a repeater authorized for up to 6000 watts. In addition, this
application seeks 2000 watt facilities to replace repeaters on the XM network currently authorized
for 19300 watts and 7200 watts and on the Sirius network, a repeater with two 2000 watt antennas
will replace a repeater with two antennas authorized at 5000 watts. This STA would increase the
power of another repeater authorized for the XM network from 1100 watts to 2000 watts, but the
net effect of these changes will be to significantly lessen the likelihood of any interference from
these Sirius XM facilities to WCS.
   °   See Sirius STA Order at | 14 and XM STA Order at § 14.
    ‘° Despite the Bureau‘s statement in the XM STA Order (at « 14) and Sirius STA Order (at bll
14) that it expects "WCS licensees to provide a schedule or as much advance notice as possible of
when their stations are to be placed in operation," Sirius XM has not received information directly
from any WCS licensee regarding plans for WCS deployment in these markets. However, Sirius
XM‘s own review of Commission files show that Horizon has certified that it operates one WCS
station serving the Cincinnati, Ohio area, Call Sign KNLB318. It is not clear from Horizon‘s
certification whether its base stations are receiving transmissions from CPE or whether they are
engaged in transmit—only operations. If only the latter, potential interference to the Horizon base
station is not an issue. In any event, XM has conducted an interference analysis and determined
that these repeaters will not create interference to Horizon‘s operating WCS sites.

an interference concern.‘‘ However, if prohibited interference does occur, Sirius XM will cease
operation of the repeater or repeaters until such interference can be eliminated."
Ownership and Control ofRepeaters. Sirius XM will continue to own the repeater in question and
it will be responsible for its modifications and operation.

Certifications. Sirius XM certifies that it will operate the modified repeater subject to the
conditions and certifications set forth in the Sirius STA4 Order and XM STA Order granting Sirius
XM‘s September 2001 requests for STAs to operate terrestrial repeaters. Specifically, Sirius XM
certifies the following:

         (1) Sirius XM will operate this repeater at its own risk, and such operation shall not
         prejudice the outcome of the final rules adopted by the Commission in GEN Docket 95—91;
         (2) Sirius XM will operate these facilities on a non—interference basis with respect to all
         permanently authorized radiocommunication facilities;
         (3) The facilities will be restricted to the simultaneous retransmission of the complete
         programming, and only that programming, transmitted by the satellite directly to SDARS
         receivers;
         (4) Where applicable, coordination of the facilities will be completed with all affected
         Administrations prior to operation, in accordance with all applicable international
         agreements including those with Canada and Mexico;
         (5) The facilities will comply with Part 17 of the Commission‘s rules — Construction,
         Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures;
         (6) The facilities will comply with Part 1 of the Commission‘s rules, Subpart I — Procedures
         Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, including the guidelines for



    _ XM STA Order 12 ("The comments from WCS licensees express concern about blanketing
interference from DARS repeaters that operate with an Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power
(EIRP) above 2 kW."). Moreover, in March 2007, the WCS Coalition said that it will defer from
objecting to STA requests that propose operations of no more than 2,000 watts EIRP, even if they
do not specify peak or average EIRP, provided that grant of the STA (i) is conditioned on operation
on a non—interference basis; and (11) is subject to the condition that the issue of peak versus average
EIRP will be addressed in the pending DARS rulemaking (IB Docket No. 95—91). See Letter from
Paul J. Sinderbrand, Counsel to the WCS Coalition, to Ms. Helen Domenici, FCC, File No. SAT—
STA—20061207—00145 (March 19, 2007). Sirius XM agrees to these conditions.
     The repeater‘s design includes several automated shutdown mechanisms that are triggered
in the event of equipment major malfunctions. The transmit chain also includes a transmit output
coupler which feeds a self—monitoring system detecting any transmission anomalies. Any such
anomalies are automatically reported back to Sirius XM‘s National Repeater Control Center (202—
380—4725), which is available on a continuous basis to receive any reports of any suspected
interference and take immediate corrective action.
