1200 EIGHTEENTH STREET, NW HARR'S, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 WILTSHIRE & WWW.HARRISWILTSHIRE.COM G RANNIS uur ATTORNEYS AT LAw May 19, 2005 BY HAND DELIVERY Marlene H. Dortch Office of the Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: S4T—8TA—20050506—00095 SES—STA—20050512—00584 SES—STA—20050512—00585 SES—STA—20050512—00587 Dear Ms. Dortch: DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") filed the above referenced applications in connection with its plans for the launch and initial operations of the DIRECTV 8 satellite. At the time these applications were filed, DIRECTV anticipated that it would conduct in—orbit testing ("IOT") of the spacecraft‘s Direct Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") payload at the 99.2° W.L. orbital location for a period of up to eighteen (18) days ending June 23, 2005. DIRECTV has now decided not to conduct such testing at that location, which was the sole function to be served by earth station E980338. Accordingly, DIRECTV hereby (1) withdraws File No. SES—STA—20050512— 00584 (relating to call sign E980338) in its entirety, and (2) withdraws only so much of the three remaining applications listed above as relate to IOT. To be clear, DIRECTV still seeks authority to conduct telemetry, tracking and command ("TT&C") operations with DIRECTV 8 in the DBS band as described in those latter three applications, using the following frequencies: Uplink: 17307 MHz Downlink: 12203.25 and 12203.75 MHz Accordingly, only those portions of the latter three applications related to IOT are affected in any way by this change in plans.
