OET ANNOUNCES PERMIT-BUT-DISCLOSE EX PARTE STATUS FOR EXPERIMENTAL LICENSE WW9XPI

By the Chief, Office of Engineering and Technology:

The Office of Engineering and Technology has designated matters pertaining to file number 0661-EX-ST-2023 as "permit-but-disclose" for purposes of the Commission's rules governing ex parte communications, effective April 22, 2024.  On April 9, 2024, Space Exploration Holdings, LLC (SpaceX) filed an application for experimental Special Temporary Authority (STA) to expand experimental authority already granted to SpaceX for testing its satellites’ capabilities to provide Supplemental Coverage from Space.  We find that designating this proceeding as "permit-but-disclose" will serve the public interest by facilitating the resolution of broad policy issues associated with SpaceX’s operations. See 47 CFR § 1.1200(a)
