Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority for DIRECTV 15 and DIRECTV RB—2; Call Signs $2930 and $2712 Dear Ms. Dortch: DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV"), by counsel, requests grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for an additional 30 days, beginning August 12, 2015, to drift the DIRECTV 15 satellite (call sign $2930) along with the DIRECTV RB—2 payload (call sign $2712) from the 66.8° W.L. orbital location, where it completed in—orbit testing ("IOT") on July 20, 2015, to its licensed orbital location at 102.75° W.L.‘ DIRECTV estimates that the satellite will arrive at 102.75° W.L. on or about August 25. During the period covered by this STA extension, DIRECTV will use 29502.5 and 29505.9 MHz for its command uplinks and 20198.5 and 20199.55 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 relocate the DIRECTV 15/RB—2 satellite so that it can begin providing service to millions of DIRECTV subscribers from the satellite‘s licensed orbital location. Accordingly, DIRECTV requests the expeditious grant of this extension request. \ See Grant Stamps, IBFS File Nos.
