SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The information is being collected as
a necessary step to regulate the private
space-based remote sensing industry,
which involves issuing licenses to
applicants and ensuring their
compliance with license terms. The
Department of Commerce (DOC),
through the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
has the authority to regulate private
space-based remote sensing under the
Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of
1992, 51 U.S.C. 60101 et seq. (the Act)
and regulations at 15 CFR part 960. The
regulations facilitate the development of
the U.S. private remote sensing industry
and thus promote the collection and
widespread availability of remote
sensing data, while preserving essential
U.S. national security interests and
observing international obligations.
Applications are made in response to
the requirements in the Act, as
amended, and no collection forms are
used. The application information
received is used to determine if the
applicant meets the legal criteria for
issuance of a license to operate a private
remote sensing space system i.e., the
proposed system will be operated in
accordance with the Act, U.S. national
security concerns and international
obligations. Application information
includes: Corporate information; launch
segment information; space segment
information; ground segment
information; plans and/or pricing policy
for providing access to or distributing
the unenhanced data generated by the
system; and the plan for post-mission
disposition of any Remote Sensing
satellites.
Once an applicant holds a license, he/
she is subject to amendment filings and
notification requirements concerning an
executive summary of the licensed
system, foreign agreements, deviation in
orbits, planned disposition of the
spacecraft, data protection plans,
preliminary design reviews, critical
design reviews, certification of launch
contract and pre-ship review of the
satellite; and notification of system
demise or decision to discontinue
operations. The licensee is required to
provide NOAA an executive summary
that can be provided to the public
within 30 days of obtaining a NOAA
license.

Monitoring and compliance
information is used to ascertain that the
licensee’s activities meet the

restricting collection and dissemination
of imaging Israeli territory; data flow
diagrams; satellite sub-system diagrams
and imaging system specification sheets;
operational declarations; quarterly
reports; purge notifications; and annual
operational audits.
