FCC Sends Satellite Broadband NPRM to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on “Modernizing Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband (SB Docket No. 25-157 [link added])”. This rulemaking was not listed in the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda. 

SB Docket 25-157 was opened on April 7th, 2025. The FCC published a notice of proposed rulemaking for that docket on April 29th, 2025. It is not clear what relationship exists between that NPRM and the one announced by OIRA yesterday.

I am posting this as part of my limited Space Geek coverage, and do not expect to cover this rulemaking in any detail beyond announcements of OIRA actions and mentions in the appropriate Short Takes posts for Federal Register notices.
