Bill > HR9463

This bill, the Satellite And Telecommunications Streamlining Act of 2022 or the SAT Streamlining Act of 2022, amends the Communications Act of 1934 to provide authority for certain licenses related to nongeostationary orbit (NGSO) and geostationary orbit (GSO) satellite systems and earth stations. The key provisions include: requiring the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make determinations on license applications and grants of market access within one year; establishing performance objectives and other requirements for licensed operations; providing for expedited processing of certain license modifications; addressing the treatment of existing "covered authorizations"; and preempting state and local regulation of market entry and rates for licensed entities.
