12. Description

XM Radio Inc.        (XM)   requests renewal of special temporary authority for its earth station (call
sign E040204)        to communicate for 30 days with XM—1 and XM—2,   to conduct limited In—Orbit Tests and
take EIRP measurements of the satellite payloads.           As a result of a delay in developing the
testing procedure,          XM may be unable to complete testing within the 30—day period authorized
pursuant to File No. SES—STA—20071019—01441.           As stated in the initial STA application,   the
testing will not cause interference to XM or other satellite operators.           The specific frequency
for testing will be 2338.75 MHz,          which is at the center of XM‘s licensed spectrum and normally
used by terrestrial repeaters.           The transponders will be operated at saturation   (approximately 70
dBW)}.   The test transmissions from the satellites will comply with all power flux density
restrictions applicable to XM‘s current operating satellites,          XM—3 and XM—4.   The testing is
required to assess the performance of the XM system and the state of health of the XM—1 and XM—2
payloads.         The emissions designators for the test transmission for the test signals are 1M84GIEDW
and N.
