To take account of today's satellite technology and operations and to promote expanded services to American consumers, the item would update the decades-old framework for how non-geostationary and geostationary satellite systems share spectrum. 2.................. Consumer and Title: Advanced Methods to Governmental Affairs. Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls (CG Docket No. 17-59); Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (CG Docket No. 02- 278). Summary: The Commission will consider a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to enhance existing \"Know-Your- Customer\" (KYC) requirements by seeking comment on the information that originating providers must obtain from customers before they make calls, how providers should verify that information, and proposing to better set penalties for violations of these requirements proportionate to harm. This would fill gaps between general KYC requirements and the types of rigorous steps necessary to protect consumers from illegal calls. 3.................. Office of Engineering Title: Promoting the and Technology.

The item would incentivize U.S. and allied testing and certification by creating a fast[dash]track review process for applications tested in Trusted Test Labs, direct updates to post[dash]market surveillance procedures, bolster enforcement tools, and establish confidential channels for industry to report potential violations or national security concerns. 4.................. Wireline Competition.. Title: Protecting Against National Security Threats in Domestic Telecommunications Service (WC Docket No. 26-82). Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would continue its efforts to protect the nation's telecommunications networks by proposing to exclude entities identified on the \"Covered List\" from providing domestic interstate telecommunications services pursuant to blanket authority under section 214 of the Communications Act, and seek comment on other potential exclusions from blanket authority under section 214 and other related measures. 5..................

The consequence today of applying such EPFD limits in the United States is that operators must overprotect GSO systems, which in turn means that American households and businesses-- most critically in rural and remote areas--do not receive the fastest space-based NGSO satellite broadband American innovation has available. Based on the technical record in this proceeding, the Order replaces the EPFD framework with modern, performance-based GSO protection criteria. The Order extends the Commission's framework for good-faith coordination and allow NGSO and GSO operators to bargain for appropriate interference protections through voluntary, private agreement. The Order further adopts technical backstops to protect GSO systems when coordination has not been reached.","document_number":"2026-09565","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/13/2026-09565/modernizing-spectrum-sharing-for-satellite-broadband","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-13/pdf/2026-09565.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09565.pdf?1778589924","publication_date":"2026-05-13","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"“EPFD framework is <span class=\"match\">necessary</span> because GSO satellites operate at fixed orbital positions in a specific orbital arc and cannot maneuver or switch satellites to mitigate the interference caused by NGSO systems operating in shared frequency bands.” However, the EPFD limits are not the only way to <span class=\"match\">protect</span> GSO networks from unacceptable interference, as shown by the international adoption of the degraded throughput methodology to <span class=\"match\">protect</span> GSO networks in Q- and V-bands.
