Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 15, 2025 / Notices 3801 

The approved LNF can already ease the 

burden on licensees when reporting this 

already-required information. This 

information is critical to fulfilling one of 

the United States’ key international 

obligations, which is to authorize and 

continually supervise U.S. nationals’ 

activities in space. CRSRA, therefore, 

must be notified when spacecraft are 

deployed and disposed of so that 

CRSRA can supervise the space 

activities of U.S. nationals. Similarly, 

anomalies may indicate loss of control 

of a spacecraft, so CRSRA must monitor 

any anomalies to meaningfully 

supervise the activities of U.S. nationals 

in space. Finally, the financial 

insolvency or dissolution of a licensee 

may indicate that a change in control of 

the spacecraft will follow, because an 

insolvent licensee may go through a 

bankruptcy process that might put the 

licensed system’s ownership in 

question. It is critical that CRSRA be 

able to intervene as early as possible in 

this process so that a sensitive system 

does not pass into the ownership of an 

entity who might jeopardize national 

security or international obligations. 

The LNF ensures that only required 

information is submitted, thereby 

reducing unnecessary paperwork and/or 

follow-up correspondence. The LNF 

will be integrated into CLCSS to clarify 

content, make the LNF more accessible, 

and further reduce the paperwork 

burden. 

Pursuant to the regulations, CRSRA 

requires licensees to submit an annual 

compliance certification. In the 

certification, licensees verify that all 

facts in the license remain true. Facts 

that must be verified in this certification 

include the technical specifications of 

the system and other foundational facts 

that CRSRA relies upon in reviewing 

license applications. This information is 

critical to ensuring that only those 

entities who are legally fit to obtain a 

license do so. In order to integrate this 

process with CLCSS, CRSRA will turn 

the standard verification requirement 

into a form. There will be no substantive 

change in what information needs to be 

provided by licensees. 

CRSRA will renew the optional Initial 

Contact Form (ICF) that includes contact 

information and general remote sensing 

system information with a few changes 

for clarity that include rephrasing a few 

questions and removing one or two. The 

ICF may be submitted electronically 

through the NOAA website prior to the 

submission of a full application and will 

also be integrated into CLCSS. The ICF 

information received is used to 

determine if the applicant is required to 

submit a full application for the 

issuance of a license to operate a private 

remote sensing space system, i.e., the 

proposed system falls under the 

authority defined in the Act and the 

regulations. If NOAA determines after 

reviewing the ICF that an application is 

not required, the potential applicant 

will save 40–50 hours of paperwork by 

not submitting the application. 

Finally, CRSRA is renewing the 

optional Data Availability Notification 

(DAN) which includes contact 

information and general data 

availability information. The DAN may 

be submitted electronically through the 

NOAA website during the application 

process, while an applicant holds a 

license, or by any interested party. The 

DAN will be integrated with CLCSS as 

well. The DAN information received is 

used to help determine the availability 

of unenhanced data from a foreign or 

domestic remote sensing system, which 

may then be compared to unenhanced 

data produced by an applicant’s system 

for the purpose of adjusting the 

conditions and/or restrictions in a 

license. The DAN form ensures that 

only required information is submitted, 

thereby reducing unnecessary 

paperwork and/or follow-up 

correspondence. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information is collected electronically 

through the NOAA website and through 

the coming online platform Commerce 

Licensing and Compliance System for 

Space (CLCSS).

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
