        REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

               XM Radio Inc. ("XM Radio") and Sirius XM Radio Inc. ("Sirius XM" and with

XM Radio, the "Sirius XM Parties"), respectfully request a 30—day extension of space station and

earth station special temporary authority ("STA"). Authority is requested to allow continued use

of the XM Radio earth station (call sign EQO40204) and the Sirius XM earth station (call sign

E080168), both in Ellenwood, Georgia, to perform Telemetry, Tracking and Control ("TT&C")

in order to drift the XM—5 space station (call sign $2786) to its assigned orbital location at

85.2° W.L and maintain it there. In addition, XM Radio seeks authority to operate the XM—5

TT&C payload during and after completion of the drift.

               XM Radio launched XM—5 on October 14, and the satellite is licensed to operate

as an in—orbit spare at 8§5.2° W.L. The Commission previously granted STAs to allow in—orbit

testing ("IOT") of XM—5 to be conducted at 80° W.L. and to permit drift of the satellite from

80° W.L. to §5.2° W.L. following completion of IOT.1 Testing of XM—5 has now been

completed, and the spacecraft is currently moving toward §5.2° W.L. However, the satellite will

not arrive at its destination prior to expiration of the current STAs. Accordingly, the Sirius XM

Parties respectfully request extension of the STAs pursuant to the same terms and conditions.




     See File Nos. SES—STA—20100917—01176 (Call Sign EQ40204) and SES—STA—20100917—
01175 (Call Sign E080168), both grant—stamped Oct. 13 for 30—day period expiring Nov. 23; File
No. SAT—STA—20100917—00194 (Call Sign $2786), grant—stamped Oct. 22, 2010 for 30—day
period expiring Nov. 25.
