These reforms are intended to replace a licensing process that historically has relied on individualized, case-by-case review, with one built around standardized application requirements, predictable procedures, and targeted regulatory review. This installment examines a central procedural reform in the R&O: a fundamentally redesigned licensing process that the Commission describes as a “licensing assembly line.” Part 100 replaces the FCC’s individualized satellite licensing process with a standardized, modular framework designed to make application review faster, more predictable, and more transparent. Applications satisfying the Commission’s certification requirements may proceed through the licensing process without extensive individualized analysis. After the 10 day opposition/response window, any party that filed during the initial public notice period has five days to submit a reply to any opposition or response.
