SUMMARY:FCC OPEN COMMISSION MEETING\, Sept 30\, 2026\, DC/online\, 10:30 am-12:30 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:The FCC will hold its next monthly open commission meeting on September 30\, 2026 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm ET at its offices at 45 L St.\, N.E.\, Washington\, DC and online. \nTwo items are space-related. \n“Unlocking Satellite Spectrum Abundance” — The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification and two Further Notices of Proposed Rulemaking that would increase the amount of spectrum available in order to support innovation in the American space economy. The Order would unlock more than 1\,000 megahertz of spectrum in the 12.7 GHz and 42 GHz bands to provide greater capacity for satellite broadband to the home or for in-flight connectivity and the like. One FNPRM would seek comment on unlocking an additional 1\,175 megahertz of spectrum in the Ku- and Ka-bands and 138.25 gigahertz in the D-band for more intensive use by satellite communications. The other FNPRM would seek comment on three new bands across thousands of megahertz that might be able to be used to control spacecraft or to provide data communications in support of emergent space activities\, such as in-space servicing\, assembly\, and manufacturing. (SB Docket Nos. 25-180\, 26-54; GN Docket Nos. 14-77\, 22-352; WT Docket No. 23-158) \n“Modernizing the Commission’s National Environmental Policy Act Rules”– The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to overhaul the Commission’s outdated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rules. These reforms will clarify the scope of Commission actions subject to environmental review and streamline and expedite the review process to ensure NEPA serves as a tool for informed decision-making rather than a barrier to investment\, innovation\, and connectivity. (WT Docket No. 25-217) \nAccording to an accompanying FCC fact sheet: \n \n  \n
