Short Takes – 12-16-25 – Federal Register Edition

Information Collection: NASA Virtual Launch Guest Watch Party Registration. Federal Register NASA 30-day ICR reinstatement notice. Summary: “The Virtual Guest Program exists to leverage the excitement around launches and milestones to widely disseminate information about Earth and space phenomena through the sharing of information about research on launches, mission objectives, public engagement activities (coloring pages, social media filters) and the like. The program provides registration opportunities for individuals and watch parties so that NASA may provide them the specific information they are interested in receiving and to share a detailed slice of the NASA efforts in carrying out the other portions of the Space Act of 1958. By learning the information from the plans of Watch Party organizers, NASA can best provide appropriate resources and share information about its activities and results.” Comments due January 14th, 2026.

Protecting the Nation's Communications Systems From Cybersecurity Threats. Federal Register FCC order on reconsideration. Summary: “In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) announces that it has reconsidered and rescinded a prior Declaratory Ruling and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, neither of which had been published in the Federal Register. The Declaratory Ruling misconstrued the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was based in part on the Declaratory Ruling's flawed legal analysis and proposed ineffective cybersecurity requirements. This Order follows the FCC's engagement with providers to help strengthen their cybersecurity posture.”
