            DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (*DIRECTV) hereby requests Special Temporary
    Authority (*STA®) for up to 180 days to conducttelemetry, tricking and control
    ("TT&C) operations with the DIRECTV 1 satellite during is driftfrom the nominal
    101° W.L. orbitallocation to 72.5° W.L., and for a period oftime once the satelite is
    relocated.
        DIRECTV currently i using DIRECTV 5 to provide DBS servicein the United
States from the Canadian—controlled orbitalocation at 72.5" W.L.. DIRECTV has filed
applications necessary to swap DIRECTV 1 for DIRECTV 5 upon its arrivalat72.5"
W.L.,so that DIRECTV 5 will be free to replace DIRECTV 6, which has continued to
experience anomaliesthat have imited ts ability to generate poer." Inthe meantime,
DIRECTV has completed the process of trinsferring traffc from DIRECTV 1 to other
DIRECTV satelites operating at the nominal 101" WL. orbitalocation so that it is now
fiee to begin its move without causing any service intermiption to subscribers.
           Onceit has received proper authorization, DIRECTV will tum off the
communications payload on DIRECTV 1 for its relocationto and inital operation at
72.5° W.L., and will operate only the TT&C payload using the following frequencies
                  Uplinks        17303 and 17797 Mz
                  Dowalinks      12200.5 and 12201,75 MHz
          Grant othis STA request will serve the public interest by allowing DIRECTV to
conduct the maneuvers necessary to address DIRECTV 6‘ faling health and ensure
uninterrupted service to DIRECTV subscribers. In addition, grant ofthis STA request
willnotresul in increased risk of harmful iterference to any other system. This earth
station is already authorized to provide TT&C services using the frequencies needed for
the drif of DIRECTV 1. Moreover, DIRECTV will coordinate with potentally affected
satelite operators in accordance with industry practiceand will operate on a non—
interference basis"
Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requeststhat the Commission grant this STA
request as expoditiously as possible.



!     See, eg., FCC File No. SAT—STA—20050427—00001,
*      Sinee TT&C for DIRECTV i condueted using different requencies(17301 and 17305
      Mite (uplinl) and 12201 and 12202 Mz (downlink), here is no risk ofinterference during
      calloctionatthe 72.5° W.L. position.
