ERRATUM
Released: September 15, 2026
By the Acting Chief, Space Bureau:
On July 23, 2026, the Commission released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 26-47, in the above captioned proceeding.  This Erratum amends the released document as indicated below:
1. In the Table of Contents, the paragraph number “124” listed for “6. Earth Stations” is replaced with “299” and the paragraph number “129” listed for “E. Benefits and Costs,” is replaced with “316.”
2. In paragraph 56, the end of the first sentence is corrected to read as “Variable Trajectory Space Station System.”
3. Above paragraph 59, heading “e. Variable Trajectory Spacecraft Systems” is corrected to read as “e. Variable Trajectory Space Station Systems.”
4. In paragraph 409, the last sentence is corrected to read as “The FRFA is set forth in Appendix C.”
5. In paragraph 410, the second sentence is corrected to read as “The IRFA is set forth in Appendix D.”
To conform to the publishing conventions of the National Archives and Records Administration’s Office of the Federal Register, this Erratum also amends Appendix A, Final Rules, of the released document as indicated below:
6. In § 5.64, paragraph (b) is corrected to read as follows:
“(b) Except where the satellite system has already been authorized by the FCC, applicants for an experimental authorization involving a satellite system must submit the required information in § 100.111 of this chapter and comply with the rules in §§ 100.260 and 100.261 of this chapter.”
7. To conform to the OMB requirements in paragraph 420 of the Ordering Clauses, instruction 4 (§ 9.10) and instruction 5 (§ 9.18) are corrected to read as follows:

9. In § 100.3, for the reasons explained above, the definition of “NGSO satellite system” on page 171, is corrected to read as follows:
“NGSO satellite system. A system of one or more non-geostationary orbit satellites operating together under one call sign and that is not a Variable Trajectory Space Station System.”
10. In § 100.111, in the second sentence of paragraph (c)(1), the words “station keeping” are corrected to read as “station-keeping” and, on page 180, paragraph (e) is corrected to read as follows:
“(e) Variable Trajectory Space Station System. An application for a VTSS authorization must provide the following information:”
11. In § 100.112, in the seventh sentence of paragraph (b)(5), the phrase “required in this paragraph (4)” is replaced with “required in this paragraph (5)”.

15. To conform the rule to the decision in paragraph 115 of the Report and Order, to adopt the Nationwide, Non-site licensing approach across all frequency bands, paragraph (a)(2), under § 100.211, is corrected to read as follows:
“(2) Use of the 37.5-40 GHz band by the FSS (space-to-Earth) is limited to individually licensed and Nationwide, Non-Site licensed earth stations. Earth stations in this band must not be ubiquitously deployed and must not be used to serve individual consumers.”
16. In § 100.212, the comma “,” at the end of paragraph (g)(1)(iv) is replaced with a period “.”; the word “and” at the end of paragraph (g)(2)(ii) is moved to the end of the paragraph (g)(2)(iii).

23. In § 100.280, the first sentence of paragraphs (d) and (e) are corrected to read as follows:
“(d) Notwithstanding that FSS is co-primary with the UMFUS in the 47.2-48.2 GHz band, earth stations in the 47.2-48.2 GHz band shall be limited to individually licensed and Nationwide, Non-Site licensed earth stations.”
