FCC Proposed Information Collection for Space Launch Frequency Coordination

The Federal Communications Commission is proposing an information collection for coordinating space-launch frequencies, not purchasing products or services. - Government buyer: Federal Communications Commission (FCC), including the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. - Purpose and scope: The proposed collection concerns Space Launch Coordination under Section 26.202 of Part 26, covering the 2025–2110 MHz, 2200–2290 MHz, and 2360–2395 MHz bands. - Requirements: Space Launch Services licensees would submit technical and operational parameters for each proposed launch to a third-party frequency coordinator and provide updates when parameters change. Parties seeking selection as the frequency coordinator would submit applications. - Estimated annual burden: 27 respondents, 203 responses, 848 hours, and $300,000 in respondent costs. The $300,000 is an estimated annual information-collection cost, not a contract value. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, named vendors, products, hardware, part numbers, or quantities are identified.
