SIA Requests Extension to Provide Comments on Satellite Competition Report

The Satellite Industry Association requested a 30-day deadline extension for comments in a proceeding on the annual Satellite Competition Report. SIA and its member companies are working on several pending proceedings, including items on Part 25 rules changes, use of spectrum bands above 24 GHz and the development of commission positions for the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference, it said in a filing in docket 14-229. The report comment cycle overlaps with the comment cycles of the three major proceedings, it said. SIA would like the deadline for initial comments to be Feb. 6, and for replies, Feb. 23, it said.
