FCC Announces Tentative Agenda for April 2025 Open Meeting

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr announced the tentative agenda for the April Open Commission Meeting scheduled for Monday, April 28, 2025:

• Modernizing Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband: The FCC will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would promote efficient spectrum sharing between geostationary and non-geostationary satellite systems. To take account of today’s satellite technology and operations and to promote efficient co-existence and expanded services to American consumers, the item would review power limits developed in the 1990s on nongeostationary satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service systems for the protection of geostationary satellite networks. 
• Utilizing the Lower 37 GHz Band: The Commission will consider a Report and Order, Sixth Report and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking establishing a licensing framework for use of the 37–37.6 GHz band.
• Caller ID Authentication on Non-IP Networks to Block Robocalls: The FCC will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposes to develop a framework for evaluating whether non-IP caller ID authentication solutions are developed and reasonably available, as required by the TRACED Act, proposes to conclude that certain existing solutions satisfy those requirements, and proposes to require that providers that continue to rely on nonIP networks implement non-IP caller ID authentication solutions. 
• Clarifying Foreign Ownership Rules: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would set clear expectations about the Commission’s review under section 310(b) of the Act of foreign investment in common carrier wireless, aeronautical radio, and broadcast licensees to reduce unnecessary burdens on industry while continuing to protect the public interest, including national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, and trade policy.
