 Sirius  Satellite  Radio  Inc. 


 On  September  1,  2006,  Sirius  Satellite  Radio  Inc.  filed  for  authority  to  launch  and  operate  Sirius  FM-  5,  a  geostationary  satellite,  at  the 
 96°  W.  L.  orbital  location  to  provide  satellite  digital  audio  radio  services  (SDARS)  to  subscribers  in  the  U.  S.  The  FM-  5  satellite  will 
 operate  service  links  (space-  to-  Earth)  in  the  2320.0-  2332.5  MHz  frequency  band.  Feederlinks  for  the  FM-  5  satellite  will  utilize 
 7025-  7075  MHz  frequencies  in  the  fixed-  satellite  service  (Earth-  to-  space).  Telemetry,  tracking,  &  control  functions  will  take  place  in 
 both  the  2320.0-  2332.5  MHz  and  7025-  7075  MHz  frequency  bands.  Sirius  requests  processing  of  its  application  to  use  the 
 2320.0-  2332.5  MHz  and  7025-  7075  MHz  frequency  bands  on  a  streamlined  basis  similar  to  that  used  for  replacement  satellites, 
 without  a  processing  round  and  without  the  imposition  of  milestones  or  bond  requirements.
