                    REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                                 Call Sign: $2861

         DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") hereby requests Special Temporary
Authority ("STA") for a period of up to 30 days to conduct Telemetry Tracking and
Control ("TTAC") for the DIRECTV KU—79W satellite (call sign 2861) during the
launch and early operations phase ("LEOP") of the satellite‘s mission. Launch is
currently scheduled for May 20, 2015. The specific DIRECTV KU—79W TTAC
frequencies to be used are 14001 MHz and 14496.5 MHz for telecommand and 11700.75
MHz and 11702.25 MHz for telemetry. DIRECTV requests that the STA be structured to
begin upon launch of the satellite. DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected
satellite operators in accordance with industry practice, and will operate on a non—
interference basis during this migration.

       The requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring that the DIRECTV
KU—7IW satellite is properly controlled during LEOP as it is placed into orbit for testing
and commercial operations. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the
Commission grant this STA request as expeditiously as possible.
