SatCom Law LLC 1317 F St. NW, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20004 T 202.599.0975 www.satcomlaw.com October 4, 2011 By Electronic Filing Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Frequency Correction for XM Radio LLC STA Request File No. SAT-STA-20110919-00184, Call Sign S2786 Dear Ms. Dortch: XM Radio LLC (“XM Radio”), by its attorneys, hereby updates the above-referenced request for special temporary authority (the “STA Request”) to correct a typographical error with respect to one of the frequencies specified for testing operations. As the STA Request explains, XM Radio and its parent company Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM”) plan to conduct certain tests using XM Radio’s XM-5 space station beginning on October 10, 2011. The first set of tests will simulate the conditions that would apply in the event XM-5 was needed to restore capacity because of an anomaly affecting the Sirius XM FM-5 space station or the Sirius XM HEO constellation. See STA Request, Narrative at 3. The STA Request stated that during these tests XM-5 would transmit at 2322.93 MHz. Id. The correct frequency, however, is 2322.293 MHz – a digit was mistakenly omitted when the application was prepared. Accordingly, XM Radio hereby advises the Commission that it plans to use 2322.293 MHz instead of 2322.93 MHz for the downlink signals for this set of tests. Substitution of this frequency is consistent with the public interest and will not result in harmful interference. The substituted frequency is within the range of frequencies covered by the XM-5 license.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch -2- October 4, 2011 Accordingly, XM Radio respectfully requests that the Commission update its records relating to the STA Request to reflect the change in frequency described herein. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Karis A. Hastings Karis A. Hastings Counsel for XM Radio LLC karis@satcomlaw.com cc: Stephen Duall Jay Whaley
