FCC Proposed Information Collection for Space Launch Frequency Coordination

**Buyer:** Federal Communications Commission
**Posted:** October 26, 2026
**Respond By:** November 25, 2026
**Identifier:** 2026-21809

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.
