  • 2025-01115 — Spectrum Sharing Rules for NGSO Fixed-Satellite Service Systems; Correction
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7651
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is making corrections to a final rule originally published on December 13, 2024, regarding satellite communication systems. The rule involves technical procedures for how new satellite systems must coordinate with existing ones to ensure compatibility and prevent interference. Due to incomplete procedural approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), parts of the amendments about protecting earlier satellite systems cannot take effect yet. These changes involve specific technical standards that new satellite systems must meet and will be delayed until the necessary approvals are obtained.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC is fixing a rule about how new satellites talk to older ones without causing problems, but they need more approvals before some parts can start. Until then, new satellites can talk, but they have to promise not to mess up the older ones.

  • 2020-28785 — Pipeline Safety: Periodic Updates of Regulatory References to Technical Standards and Miscellaneous Amendments
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 3938
    Reading Time:about 88 minutes

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is proposing to update more than 20 incorporated consensus standards in the Federal pipeline safety regulations. This proposed rulemaking involves incorporating newer versions of technical standards, clarifying regulatory language, and making minor corrections to improve clarity without imposing new initiatives on pipeline operators. The changes will allow operators to use the latest technologies and practices in pipeline safety, while also aligning with federal policies to incorporate voluntary consensus standards. Public comments on the proposal are invited until March 16, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is suggesting some rule updates to help keep pipelines safe by using the latest and best tools and instructions, but they won't make the people running the pipelines change how they do their work. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these ideas by March 16, 2021.
