Abstract:
On November 19, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) released a Report and Order, FCC 20-159, in IB Docket No. 18-314, titled “Further Streamlining Part 25 Rules Governing Satellite Services.” In the Report and Order, the Commission added a new paragraph (h) to section 25.136, 47 CFR § 25.136. The new paragraph (h) is a companion provision to other rule changes made in the Report and Order, in 47 CFR 25.133(a)(2), that give earth station licensees the option of an extended build-out period. The extended build-out period is up to five years and six months for earth stations communicating with geostationary-orbit satellites, and up to six years and six months for earth stations communicating with non-geostationary orbit satellites, in comparison with the current, alternative build-out period of one year. For earth station licensees subject to section 25.136 that choose to take advantage of an extended build-out period, the new paragraph (h) requires re-coordination with Upper Microwave Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) licensees within one year before the earth station commences operation.
