EchoStar Corporation (EchoStar) has filed a request for special temporary authority for 180 days to operate its EchoStar 8 satellite in the
12.2-12.7 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 17.3-17.8 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands from the 77º W.L. orbital location.  The requested
operations are pursuant to agreements between and among EchoStar, QuetzSat S. de R.L. de C.V. (QuetzSat), and SES Global Latin America,
S.A.  In its request, EchoStar states that QuetzSat has confirmed that the Mexican Administration does not object to interim operation of EchoStar
8 as a U.S.-licensed satellite providing service to the United States from the 77º W.L. orbital location, provided that the satellite operates in
conformance with the technical characteristics in QuetzSat's BSS concession from the Mexican Administration.

Special Temporary Authority

Sirius XM Radio Inc.
Sirius XM Radio Inc. requests special temporary authority (STA) for a period of 180 days to operate five terrestrial repeaters in Cincinnati, Ohio,
for 180 days at power levels at or above 2 kW EIRP (average).  Four of the five repeaters are existing repeaters that have been authorized under
previous grants of STA.  Sirius XM states that the majority of these repeaters would operate at power levels less than those previously authorized.
Sirius XM also seeks authority to operate a new repeater with a power level of 2 kW EIRP (average), which would be co-located with an existing
repeater.
