On November 2, 2010, the Commission
released a Recon Order titled, In the Matter of Amendment of Parts
1 and 63 of the Commissions Rules, IB Docket No. 04-47, FCC
10-187. In this Recon Order, the Commission amended its cable
landing license application rules and application procedures to
require applicants to certify their compliance with the Coastal
Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), as amended, 16 U.S.C. Section
1456. The goal of the CZMA is to preserve, protect, develop and,
where possible, restore and enhance the nationals coastal
resources. Therefore, 47 CFR Section 1.767(k)(4) states that cable
landing license applicants must furnish a certification to the
Commission that the applicant is not required to submit a
consistency certification with any state pursuant to the Coastal
Zone Management Act.
