                 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

              XM Radio Inc. ("*XM Radio"),‘ a satellite digital audio radio service licensee,

hereby requests a 60—day extension of the special temporary authority ("STA") granted on

October 13, 2010, to permit its Washington, D.C. and Ellenwood, Georgia earth stations, Call

Signs E00158 and EQ40204 (the "XM Earth Stations"), to communicate with the XM—4

satellite, Call Sign $2616, at 115.25° W.L. XM Radio requires this STA extension pending

Commission action on applications to modify the XM Earth Station licenses to reflect the

relocation of XM—4 from 115.0° W.L. to 115.25° W.L. and other changes in the deployment of

the satellites in XM Radio‘s fleet." This STA authorized the XM Earth Stations to communicate

with XM—4 for feeder link communications and Telemetry, Tracking and Control. Grant of the

STA extension will serve the public interest by permitting XM Radio to maintain continuity of

service to customers following a relocation of XM—4 that simplified physical stationkeeping at

the nominal 115° W.L. orbital location.

              Grant of the requested authority will not adversely affect other authorized

communications systems. The S—band frequencies used by XM Radio are not shared with other

licensees except for XM Radio‘s affiliate Satellite CD Radio. In the X—band frequencies, the

XM Earth Stations have been fully coordinated with other spectrum users.



‘   XM Radio is a wholly—owned subsidiary of Sirius XM Radio Inc. ("Sirius XM").
