Washington, DC 20554 Re: Requests for In—Orbit Testing STAs for DIRECTV 98 SAT—STA—20060807—00085 (Call Sign $2669) SES—STA—20060807—01318 (Call Sign EO60236) SES—STA—20060807—01319 (Call Sign E930304) SES—STA—20060807—01320 (Call Sign E990159) Dear Ms. Dortch: On August 7, 2006, DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") filed the above reference applications for special temporary authorization ("STA") to perform in—orbit testing ("IOT") of the DIRECTV 98 satellite at 138° W.L. using three Ka—band earth stations. Those applications were predicated upon a specific timetable, which was based in turn upon an anticipated launch date in mid—September. Unfortunately, the launch is now expected on October 12, rendering the previous timetable inoperative. Accordingly, and in order to avoid any complications should the launch date slip further, DIRECTV requests that the Commussion grant the requested STAs in a way that is keyed to launch rather than specified dates, as follows: Launch + 12 days STA begins (initial TT&C) Launch + 14 days Begin IOT at 138° W.L. Launch + 29 days Complete IOT/begin drift to 101.1° W.L. Launch + 52 days Drift complete, STA ends The timetable set forth above covers the same forty—day period as the original applications, allocating the same period of time to the various activities as did the original

HARRIS, WILTSHIRE & GRANNIS LLP Marlene H. Dortch September 26, 2006 Page 2 of 2 applications. DIRECTV will notify the FCC within three days of successful launch of DIRECTV 98 in order to set the specific start date for these STAs as defined above. DIRECTV respectfully requests that the Commussion issue the requested STAs in the manner set forth herein. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, William M.
