        DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (°DIRECTV®) hereby requests Special Temporary
Authority ("STA") to conduet tlemety, tracking and contral ("TT&C") operations with
the DIRECTV 5 satellte during its drit from 72.5° W.L. orbital location to 109.8° W.L.
from approximately September 18 through October 18. This STA, which will enable
DIRECTV to reposition DIRECTV 5 to replace another satelite in its flet that is
experiencing technical anomalies, will replace a previous STA that DIRECTV is unable
to use due to a minor but unanticipated delay in the transfer oftrffic
        DIRECTV currenty is using DIRECTV 5 to provide DBS servicein the United
States from the Canadian—controlled orbitallocation at 72.5° W.L. DIRECTV has been
granted authority to swap DIRECTV 1 for DIRECTV 5 at that location and to then
relocate DIRECTV 5 to 109.8° W.L. oncetraffic transfer is complete." DIRECTV also
has been granted an STA to use this earth station to provide TT&C for DIRECTV 5
during is drit over the specified period from September 2 to October 1."

        DIRECTV 1 has been relocated to the 72.5° W.L. orbital location, but due to
unexpected complications, trafic transfer will nottake place until midSeptember.
DIRECTV therefore will not be able to complete trafic transfer and relocation of the
DIRECTV 5 satellite within the timeffame specified in the STA previously granted for
this earth station, and thus will not use that STA. Accordingly, DIRECTV hereby
requests a new STA to cover the revised timeframe anticipated for satellite migration to
109.8° W.L.— approximately September 18 through October 18.
       During the relocation of DIRECTV 5, the satelite‘s communications payload will
remain inactive and only the TT&C payload will operate. DIRECTV requests authority
to operate on the following TT&C frequencies:
                Uplink:       17301 and 17305 MHz
                Downlink:     12201 and 12202 MHz.
DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected satelite operators in accordance with
industry practice, and will operate on a non—interference basis.
       Grant of this STA requestwill serve the public interest by allowing DIRECTV to
conduct the maneuvers necessary to address DIRECTV 6‘s falling health and ensure
uninterrupted service to DIRECTV subscribers._In addition, grant of this STA request
will not resultin increased risk of harmful interference to any other system. This earth

        Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requeststhat the Commission grant this STA
request as expeditiously as possible.
