Description

Proposed rule - In this document, the Federal Communications Commission 
(Commission) continues its long-standing practice of reviewing its 
licensing rules and practices in light of innovation and development in 
the satellite industry and seeks further comment on possible further 
streamlining and expediting of its rules. Proposals include: 
elimination of the procedural requirement to print and maintain a paper 
copy of a license; changing the default status of space and earth 
station proceedings to permit-but-disclose; allowing earth station 
operators to apply for and receive a limited license without an 
identified satellite point of communication. The Commission also seeks 
comment on: additional minor modifications to be made by operators 
without prior authorization from the Commission; whether to provide a 
process for market access petitioners to seek the equivalent of a 
special temporary authorization (STA); whether to expand the window for 
operators to file renewal applications for existing licenses; further 
streamlining some of its coordination requirements for earth and space 
station operators; expanding the conditions under which earth station 
operators could access the new, streamlined “deemed-granted” process 
for adding points of communications; timeframes for taking action on 
license applications; allowing operators to file STA extensions 
concurrently with an STA application; and on the creation of a 
permitted list that would include NGSO operators.
