Dear Ms. Dortch:

        EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) wishes to withdraw the above-referenced applications
requesting authority to move the EchoStar 4 satellite to the 86.5º W.L. orbital location and operate it
there on a temporary basis. In light of certain issues surrounding these requests that were identified by
Bureau officials, EchoStar has decided to refrain from placing further undue strain on the International
Bureau’s resources in connection with this matter. The withdrawal of these applications makes it all the
more important for EchoStar to obtain favorable and early action on its request for modification
authority to operate EchoStar 8 at the 86.5 W.L. slot as a licensed satellite and put that location to use
as quickly as possible.1

            See File SAT-MOD-20101124-00244 (filed Nov. 24, 2010).
