Licensing of Private Remote-Sensing Space Systems

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is considering revisions to its regulations for the licensing of private remote sensing space systems under Title II of the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992, 15 U.S.C. 5601 et seq. To promote the process, NOAA is using an informal Task Group, of NOAA and Commerce employees, to compile and consider public comment on the more significant issues involved in the licensing process. NOAA will use these comments to decide the extent to which it needs to revise its regulations and what issues should be addressed. Should NOAA decide that new regulations are necessary a proposed rule would be published to solicit public comment. NOAA will then circulate its final draft of proposed regulations in the informal rulemaking process. NOAA intends that soliciting comments on the issues proposed in this notice prior to the issuance of any proposed rule will ensure that NOAA's regulations include provisions advantageous to industry, as well as to Government. This Notice solicits such comments, particularly from the regulated industry.
