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

Federal Communications
Commission.
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.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before September 15, 2010, and reply
comments must be filed on or before
September 30, 2010.

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. To
