FCC Sends Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband Final Rule to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from the FCC on “Modernizing Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband (SB Docket No. 25-157)”. The FCC opened a docket for this rulemaking on April 7th, 2025. A notice of proposed rulemaking was published for this rule on June 13th, 2025. The FCC announced that a scheduled meeting on April 30th2026 would include a discussion about this rulemaking. 

Generally speaking, the FCC does not publish rulemaking information in the Unified Agenda. 

Interestingly, OIRA has previously published a notice of approval of a final rule for this action, but I can find no such publication notice in the Federal Register. 

Coverage of this final rule will be done under my limited Space Geek coverage. I would only expect to announce the publication of the final rule in the appropriate Short Takes post.
