Needs and Uses: On April 24, 2020, the Commission released a Report and Order in IB Docket No. 18313, FCC 20
54, Mitigation of Orbital Debris in the New Space Age, Orbital Debris Report and Order. In this Orbital Debris Report and Order, the Commission updated its rules related to orbital debris mitigation, including application requirements. The new rules are designed to ensure that the Commissions actions concerning radio communications, including licensing U.S. spacecraft and granting access to the U.S. market for non-U.S.
spacecraft, mitigate the growth of orbital debris, while at the same time not creating undue regulatory obstacles to new satellite ventures. The action will help to ensure that Commission decisions are consistent with the public interest in space remaining viable for future satellites and systems and the many services that those systems provide to the public. The rule revisions also provide additional detail to applicants on what information is expected under the Commissions rules, which can help to increase certainty in the application filing process. While this information collection represents an overall increase in the burden hours, the information collection serves the public interest by ensuring that the Commission and public have necessary information about satellite applicants plans for mitigation of orbital debris.
Specifically, FCC 2054 contains the new or modified information collection requirements listed below, applicable to applicants seeking experimental licenses for satellite operations under part 5 of the Commissions rules, as well as to license grantees under part 97
submitting notifications to the Commission prior to launch of a satellite amateur station:
1 Existing disclosure requirements have been revised to include specific metrics in several areas, including:
Probability that the space stations will become a source of debris by collision with small debris and meteoroids that would cause loss of control and prevent disposal; probability of collision between any non-geostationary orbit NGSO space station and other large objects; and casualty risk associated
