Federal Communications Commission
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) adopted a new methodology for assessing annual regulatory fees for small satellites and spacecraft, and included space stations that are principally used for Rendezvous & Proximity Operations (RPO) or On-Orbit Servicing (OOS), including Orbit Transfer Vehicles (OTV), in the existing fee category for "small satellites" on an interim basis until the Commission can develop more experience in how these space stations will be regulated. These changes are intended to be effective for fiscal year (FY) 2024.
