(Sirius XM) to operate the uplink and telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) functions of its earth station in Ellenwood, GA, for a period of thirty days, beginning January 5, 2009, for test and emergency back up purposes only. This authorization is granted according to the parameters specified in Sirius XM‘s application and is subject to the following conditions: 1. Uplinks shall be conducted in the X—band frequencies (7025—7075 MHz) previously authorized in connection with Sirius XM‘s non—geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) satellite network for test purposes, or as emergency back up in the case of failure of Sirius XM‘s currently—operating uplink earth station in Vernon Valley, NJ, during the period of this STA. 2. Transmissions may be conducted in the C—band frequencies (6422—6425 MHz) set forth in Sirius XM‘s application in connection with Sirius XM‘s NGSO satellite network for TT&C test purposes, or as emergency back up in the case of failure of the existing Sirius XM TT&C facilities located outside the United States during the period of this STA. 3. Sirius XM shall coordinate its operations with U.S. licensed satellites that are within +5° of Sirius XM‘s nodal crossings of the satellites‘ final geosynchronous orbit. Sirius XM shall coordinate its TT&C operations with non—U.S. licensed satellites that are located within +10° of Sirius XM‘s nodal crossings of the satellites‘ final geosynchronous orbit. 4. In the event Sirius XM provides emergency back up pursuant to conditions 1 & 2 above, Sirius XM must notify the Commission, in writing, of such activation within three business days of the start of the emergency back up communications. 5. Operations pursuant to this STA are on a non—harmful interference basis with respect to all permanently authorized radiocommunication facilities operating in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. Sirius XM shall immediately cease transmissions if notified of harmful interference to such permanently authorized radiocommunication facilities. 6. This STA may be terminated or modified at the International Bureau‘s discretion, without a hearing, if conditions warrant. 7. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at Sirius XM‘s own risk. 8. Authority granted in this STA is without prejudice to the disposition of the underlying application by Sirius XM for regular authority to conduct C—band TT&C from the Ellenwood, GA, earth station, including the request for waiver of Section 25.202(g) of the Commission‘s rules.
