Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) is requesting a three-year extension of a delegated authority information collection titled Ku-Band Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit, Fixed Satellite Service “Ku-Band NGSO FSS 25.146,” under OMB Control No. 3060-1014. Section 25.146(l) requires a licensee to file a report annually on the status of its space station construction and launch and identification of any space station(s) not available for service. Section 25.146(g) states that ninety days prior to the initiation of service to the public, the NGSO FSS system licensee shall submit a technical showing for the NGSO FSS system in the band 12.2-12.7 GHz. The technical information shall demonstrate that the NGSO FSS system is capable of meeting the limits as specified in § 25.208(o). Licensees may not provide service to the public if they fail to demonstrate compliance with the power flux-density (PFD) limits. The Commission is submitting this non-substantive change request to include Section 25.146(g) in the supporting statement. It was first approved by the OMB in 2003 and inadvertently omitted from the supporting statement in the 2009 submission to the OMB.
