January 5, 2015 BY ELECTRONIC FILING Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority for Drift of DIRECTV 14 and DIRECTV RB-1 to 99.235° W.L. Dear Ms. Dortch: DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) for telemetry, tracking and control (“TT&C”) functions during the drift of the DIRECTV 14 satellite (call sign S2869) along with the DIRECTV RB-1 payload (call sign S2711) from 76° W.L. to the 99.235º W.L. orbital location at the conclusion of in-orbit testing (“IOT”). This STA will cover a period of approximately 30 days. DIRECTV 14 is currently undergoing IOT at 76º W.L., and that process should be completed on or about January 12, 2015. DIRECTV requests an STA to cover TT&C while the satellite is relocated to its licensed orbital location at 99.235º W.L. During the period covered by this STA, DIRECTV will use 28351.0 and 28353.0 MHz for its command uplinks and 18799.0 and 18799.5 MHz for its telemetry downlinks. DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected satellite operators in accordance with industry practice, and will operate on a non- interference basis during this migration. Grant of this STA request will serve the public interest by allowing DIRECTV to place the DIRECTV 14/RB-1 satellite at its licensed orbital location so that it can begin providing service to millions of DIRECTV subscribers. Accordingly, and in light of the impending completion of IOT, DIRECTV requests the expeditious grant of special temporary authority. Respectfully submitted, /s/ William M. Wiltshire Counsel to DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC
