Electronic submission and publication of satellite network filings

that the volume of advance publication information (API), coordination requests (CR/C), notifications and filings under Appendices 30, 30A and 30B for satellite networks or systems has been steadily increasing in recent years;

that a significant amount of effort is required to maintain the relevant databases;

that a paperless electronic approach for the submission of satellite network filings and comments, if required, would make this information readily accessible to all, and would limit the workload for administrations and the Bureau in the processing of these filings,

that, through Circular Letters CR/363 and CR/376, the Bureau informed administrations that a web-based application (SpaceWISC) is available as of 1 March 2015 for the submission and publication of API notices for satellite networks or systems subject to coordination and of administrations’ associated comments;

that, through Circular Letter CR/360, the Bureau informed administrations that web-based online distribution of the International Frequency Information Circular BR IFIC (Space services) on DVD-ROM in ISO format has been developed, allowing the data to be available without delay on the BR IFIC publication date and enabling administrations to obtain a secure local reproduction of the BR IFIC (Space services) DVD-ROM,

that administrations shall submit all satellite network filings and comments, if required, using a secure paperless electronic approach upon being advised that the means for such electronic submission of a satellite network filing for satellite networks or systems has been implemented and upon receiving assurances that such means are indeed secure,

to implement a secure paperless electronic approach for the electronic submission and publication of satellite network filings and comments, if required, for satellite networks or systems, taking into account the conditions mentioned in the resolves of this Resolution;

to study and implement, as appropriate, a consolidated approach for the electronic submission of both satellite network filings and their related correspondence. RECOMMENDATIONS
