Special Temporary Authority (STA)


DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC is granted a STA extension from SES—STA—20150420—
00240, for 30 days, beginning July 30, 2015, to operate its station Castle Rock,
Colorado, to provide Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) functions to DIRECTV
15 satellite (call sign 2930) while it is undergoing in—orbit testing (IOT) at the 66.8°
W.L. orbital location and thereafter as it proceeds to the 103° W.L. orbital location on
the center frequencies 29502.5 MHz and 29505.9MHz (Earth—to—space) and 20198.5
MHz and 20199.5 MHz (space—to—Earth) under the following conditions:

    1, Operations under this authorization must comport with $2930 technical
       operating parameters and the Federal Communication Commission‘s rules.

       All operations under this grant of special temporary authority must be on an
       unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., DIRECTV must not cause
       harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference caused
       to it by, any other lawfully operating station.

       In the event of any harmful interference under this grant of special temporary
       authority, DIRECTV must cease operations immediately upon notification of
       such interference, and must inform the Commission, in writing, immediately of
       such an event.

       DIRECTV must coordinate its TT&C operations with all other potentially
       affected operators and ensure that no harmful interference results.

       Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this
       special temporary authority is solely at DIRECTV‘s own risk.

       Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the
       Commission may make regarding pending or future DIRECTV applications.

   . Grant of this authorization is with prejudice to any future enforcement actions.

This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.F.R, § 0.261, and is effective immediately.

THE FOREGOING NOTICE IS REQUIRED BY THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995, PUBLIC LaAW 104—13, OCTOBER
1, 1995, 44 U.S.C. SECTION 3507.


            REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY
                            Call Signs: E140117 and E150022

         On May 27, 2015, the Commission granted DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC
("DIRECTV") Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to conduct Telemetry Tracking and
Control ("TTAC") for the DIRECTV 15 satellite (call sign 2930) while it is undergoing
in—orbit testing ("IOT") at the 66.8° W.L. orbital location, and thereafter during migration
to its licensed position at 103° W.L. (nominal), from its New Hampton, NH (call sign
E140117) and Castle Rock, CO (call sign E150022) earth stations.! The specific
DIRECTV 15 TTAC frequencies to be used are 29502.5 MHz and 29505.9 MHz for
telecommand and 20198.5 MHz and 20199.5 MHz for telemetry.

       The satellite is currently undergoing IOT. DIRECTV estimates that drifting the
satellite to its assigned location thereafter will take approximately 26 days. Accordingly,
DIRECTV requests an extension of its existing earth station STAs for an additional thirty
(30) days to cover the period required to complete IOT and relocation of the satellite.
DIRECTV will coordinate with potentially affected satellite operators in accordance with
industry practice, and will operate on a non—interference basis during this migration.

        The requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring that the DIRECTV
15 satellite is properly controlled during the completion of IOT and its migration to its
licensed orbital location. Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests that the
Commission grant this STA request as expeditiously as possible.
