<p>In December 2022, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to seek comment on changes to its rules, policies, or practices to facilitate the acceptance for filing of satellite and earth station applications under 47 CFR part 25. In September 2023 the Commission adopted a Report and Order implementing its proposed changes as well as establishing timeframes for placing space and earth stations on public notice, creating a new, streamlined processing framework for earth station operators to add satellite points of communication, and establishing a Transparency Initiative led by the Space Bureau to provide clarity and access to applicants. The Commission also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to seek comment on additional proposed changes to further expedite satellite and earth station licensing.</p>
