       Re:    IBFS File No. SAT-STA-20120508-00080

Dear Ms. Dortch:

       On May 8 2012, DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) filed the above referenced
request for Special Temporary Authority to continue to stationkeep the DIRECTV 1R satellite at
the 109.8° W.L. orbital position until such time as the spacecraft could be de-orbited. In the
interim, DIRECTV’s plans for the satellite have changed, and it now has an opportunity to put
the spacecraft to productive use for the remainder of its operational lifetime. Accordingly,
DIRECTV withdraws the aspect of this application that relates to de-orbiting of the satellite.


                                           Respectfully submitted,

                                            /s/

                                           William M. Wiltshire
                                           Counsel for DIRECTV
