Dear Mr. Wiltshire:

On December 13, 2006, DirecTV Enterprises, LLC. (DirecTV) filed the above—captioned
modification apphcatlon to add additional DIRECTV satellites as points of commumcatlons and
emission designators‘ to its direct broadcast satellite (DBS) earth station license." For the reasons
stated below, we dismiss the application, in part, as defective without prejudice to refiling.

In response to Question E18 of Schedule B of FCC Form 312, DirecTV indicates that frequency
coordinationis not required and therefore does not include a frequency coordination report.
However, pursuant to Section 25.203(c) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.203(c), all
earth station applicants must complete frequency coordination ifthey intend to operate in
frequency bands shared with terrestrial services on a co—primary basis. Although DirecTV
previously filed a frequency coordination report for this earth station, that report does not include
the proposed added analog emission 82KOF3N which will operate in the 17.7—17.8 GHz band.
Therefore, the application is incomplete with respect to this emission.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R.
§25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority, 47
C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss that portion of DirecTV‘s application requesting to add emission
82KOF3N without prejudice to refiling."


                                                                 Sincerely,

                                                                 «*{Ewfi“\;f”@              %<
                                                                                            %&i”w
                                                                 Scott A. Kotler
                                                                 Chief, Systems Analysis Branch
                                                                 Satellite Division
                                                                 International Bureau

       24M0G7W, 1 MOOF2D, and 82KOF3N.

2      12.2—12.7 GHz and 17.3—17.8 GHz.

3    If DirecTV refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception ofsupplying the corrected
information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. §1.1109(d).
