Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Summary
The SAT Streamlining Act adds new rules that require the FCC to decide on satellite and space‑station licenses, major amendments, and market‑access petitions within one year, with only limited extensions. It creates fast‑track procedures for minor changes, replacements, and emergencies, and bars state or local governments from setting rates for those licenses. The goal is to cut backlogs, improve certainty for commercial space operators, and keep the U.S. space industry competitive.
