Further Streamlining FCC Rules Governing Satellite Services Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission Commission or we streamlines its rules governing satellite services by creating an optional framework for the authorization of blanket-licensed earth stations and space stations in a satellite system through a unified license. The Commission also aligns the build-out requirements for earth stations and space stations and eliminates unnecessary reporting rules.
DATES: Effective March 31, 2021, except instruction 6 adding 47 CFR 25.136h which is delayed. The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of 47 CFR 25.136h.

Permits Requiring Public Participation

Congressional Review Act The Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, concurs that this rule is non-major under the Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 8042. The Commission will send a copy of this Second Report and Order to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 801a1A.
Synopsis In this Report and Order, the Commission streamlines its rules governing satellite services by creating an optional framework for authorizing both the blanket-licensed earth stations and space stations of a satellite system through a unified license. We also align the build-out requirements for earth stations and space stations and eliminate unnecessary reporting rules.

burdens, simplify the Commissions licensing of satellite systems, and provide additional operational flexibility.
A. Unified License for Space Station and Blanket-Licensed Earth Station Operations On January 31, 2019, the Commission proposed at 84 FR 638 a simple framework for an optional unified license. The unified license would authorize operations of the satellite network, i.e., the space station and the earth stations operating with that space station. The unified license would be held by the satellite operator. To receive a unified license, the satellite operator would have to file an application with the normally required space station application information, plus certain certifications and information regarding earth station operations. It would not have to provide a Form 312 Schedule B
or the detailed earth station information that would otherwise be required, but which is rendered duplicative or unnecessary by what was already submitted for the space station.
Accordingly, the unified license would offer a more efficient means to authorize the earth stations in a satellite network, and one that better reflects the flexibility satellite operators exercise over the parameters of their satellite networks.
Scope. After review of the information submitted in the record, we conclude that the streamlining benefits of a unified authorization could apply to a variety of satellite and earth station
