The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will hold a public meeting on the licensing of private remote sensing space systems.
The meeting will be held on June 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Department of Commerce, Herbert C. Hoover Building, Room 4830, 14th and Constitution, N.W., Washington, D.C.
NOAA is considering revisions to its regulations for the licensing of private remote sensing space systems. This meeting is designed to solicit comments from the private sector on the more significant issues involved in the licensing process. NOAA will use this information to decide the extent to which it needs to revise its regulations and what issues should be addressed.
The meeting will consist of roundtable discussions on the licensing process including issues of transparency; the review of foreign agreements including foreign investment agreements; and other matters that may arise in the course of the discussions. Anyone interested in participating in the meeting should contact Michael Mignogno at 301-457-5210 or Kira Alvarez at 301-713- 0053.
