Carr Defends Satellite Licensing Order
House Science Committee lawmakers had asked to postpone the overhaul
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24, 2026 – Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr defended the agency’s recent satellite licensing reforms from bipartisan lawmakers who wanted the plan dropped.
The top lawmakers on the House Science Committee, which oversees space issues, had asked Carr last month to postpone the item. He did not, and the agency adopted it unanimously on July 22.
