 Dear  Messrs.  Levin,  Jacobs  and  Konczal: 
 On  January  6,2005,  Mobile  Satellite  Ventures  Subsidiary  LLC  (MSV  Subsidiary)  filed  a  motion  for  an  additional  extension  of  time  to  file  a  response  to  the  Comments  of  DIRECTV,  Inc.  and  the 
 Opposition  of  PanAmSat  Corporation,  Intelsat  LLC  and  SES  Americom,  Inc.  in  the  referenced  proceeding.  We  deny  the  Motion. 


 MSV  Subsidiary’s  response  was  originally  due  on  November  23,2004.  MSV  Subsidiary  sought  and  was  granted  two  extensions  -  with  the  response  now  due  on  January  10,2005.  MSV  Subsidiary  had 
 asserted  that  additional  time  would  allow  it  to  attempt  to  resolve  its  difference  with  the  opposing  parties.  MSV  Subsidiary  now  seeks  to  extend  the  time  for  filing  its  response  for  an  additional  thirty  days,  until 
 February  10,2005.  This  is  nearly  three  months  past  the  original  due  date. 
 Section  1.46(  a)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  tj  1.46(  a),  states  motions  for  extensions  of  time  will  not  be  granted  routinely.  In  addition,  Section  146(  b)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  tj 
 1.46(  b)  requires  that  motions  for  extensions  of  time  shall  be  filed  seven  days  before  the  filing  date.  In  an  emergency  situation,  we  may  consider  a  late-  filed  motion  for  a  brief  extension  of  time  related  to  the 
 duration  of  the  emergency.  MSV  Subsidiary  has  provided  no  information  regarding  an  emergency  situation,  nor  a  compelling  reason  to  grant  an  additional  extension.  Indeed,  we  have  afforded  MSV 
 Subsidiary  ample  time  in  which  to  reach  a  settlement  with  the  opposing  parties. 
1
 Therefore,  pursuant  to  Section  0.261  of  the  Commission’s  rules  on  delegated  authority,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  0.261,  Mobile  Satellite  Ventures  Subsidiary  LLC’s  Consent  Motion  for  Extension  of  Time  IS  DENIED. 
 MSV  Subsidiary’s  response  in  the  reference  proceeding  is  due  on  or  before  January  10,2005. 
 Sincerely, 


 Fern  J.  Jarmulnek  Deputy  Chief 
 Satellite  Division
