## Abstract

In this document, the Commission adopts rule revisions that would enable it to issue satellite and earth station licenses with 15- year license terms, rather than the 10-year license terms permitted under the current rules. These rule revisions are intended to reduce the administrative burdens of satellite licensees and earth station licensees.
