WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS On May 7, 2010, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (75 FR 25137) proposing changes in the Standard Numbering System, Vessel Identification System, and Boating Accident Report Database that, collectively, are intended to improve recreational boating safety efforts, enhance law enforcement capabilities, advance maritime security, and clarify requirements for all stakeholders. The NPRM announced a 90 day public comment period that closed on August 5, 2010. We have received comments from the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and the National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA), each requesting a 90 day extension of the comment period. The NASBLA comment letter noted that the NPRM would be a topic of discussion during their annual conference, which will be held from September 10–14, 2010. Since the comment period has already closed, the Coast Guard will reopen it for an additional period of 60 days. The Coast Guard has determined that reopening the comment period for a period of 60 days is consistent with the public interest. This will allow the comment period to coincide with the NASBLA annual conference and allow members to discuss the NPRM and submit comments after the conference. Adding 60 days to the original 90 day comment period strikes a balance between allowing adequate time to comment on the NPRM and allowing the agency to move forward with the rulemaking project. Accordingly, the comment 14:10 Aug 13, 2010 Jkt 220001 Dated: August 9, 2010. Kevin S. Cook, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Director of Prevention Policy.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: This document proposes to take a number of actions to further the provision of terrestrial broadband services in the MSS bands. In the 2 GHz MSS band, the Commission proposes to add co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the existing MobileSatellite allocation. This will lay the groundwork for providing additional flexibility in use of the 2 GHz spectrum in the future. The Commission also proposes to apply the terrestrial secondary market spectrum leasing rules and procedures to transactions involving terrestrial use of the MSS spectrum in the 2 GHz, Big LEO, and Lbands in order to create greater certainty and regulatory parity with bands licensed for terrestrial broadband service. The Commission also asks, in a Notice of Inquiry, about approaches for creating opportunities for full use of the 2 GHz band for stand-alone terrestrial uses. The Commission requests comment on ways to promote innovation and investment throughout the MSS bands while also ensuring market-wide mobile satellite capability to serve important needs like disaster recovery and rural access.

Summary of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 1. The Commission takes steps to make additional spectrum available for mobile broadband services, while ensuring that America has robust mobile satellite service capability to meet public safety, rural connectivity, federal government, and other important needs. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the Commission proposes to take a number of actions to further our goal of enabling the provision of terrestrial broadband services in the MSS bands. In the 2 GHz MSS band, it proposes to add co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the existing MobileSatellite allocation. While this action in itself does not change the status of the existing MSS licensees and the Commission’s service rules for MSS and ATC networks, it lays the groundwork for providing additional flexibility in use of the 2 GHz spectrum in the future. In keeping with this proposed flexible allocation for the 2 GHz MSS band, if an MSS license is cancelled for any reason the Commission proposes not to assign any additional spectrum for MSS in this band to either the existing MSS licensees or to a new MSS entrant.
