                    REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                           Call Signs: E070027 and E090076

       DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") hereby requests extension of its
Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for up to an additional 30 days to conduct in—orbit
testing and telemetry, tracking and control ("TT&C") operations for the DIRECTV 12
satellite (call sign $2797) while at 76° W.L., from its Castle Rock, Colorado and New
Hampton, New Hampshire earth stations (call signs E070027 and EQO90076, respectively).
DIRECTV has conducted IOT using these earth stations pursuant to initial STAs,‘ and
seeks permission to perform additional tests for a period of approximately 30 days using
the same operational parameters as its initial tests. DIRECTV has cleared its proposed
operations with NTIA, and hereby agrees to accept all terms and conditions imposed with
respect to its initial STAs.

        The requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring that the DIRECTV
12 satellite is properly tested to assure that it will operate safely and in good working
order so that it can make productive use of valuable spectrum/orbital resources as soon as
possible. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the Commission grant this
STA request as expeditiously as possible.
