As of October 10, one item on the agenda is space-related:

“Modernizing the Supplemental Coverage from Space Rules – The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would modernize the Commission’s rules for Direct-to-Device (D2D) services in licensed spectrum.  The rules proposed in this item, if adopted, would make an additional 482 megahertz of spectrum available for Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS), eliminate burdensome SCS requirements, and consider measures to modernize and harmonize the SCS and the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) rules.  (GN Dockets 26-281, 23-65)”
