NTIA Space Launch Frequency Coordination Portal Information Collection
Summary
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review of its information collection activities related to the NTIA Space Launch Frequency Coordination Portal. This notice seeks public comment on the proposed collection.
What changed
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), part of the Department of Commerce, has submitted an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This request pertains to the NTIA Space Launch Frequency Coordination Portal, which is used for coordinating frequencies for space launches. The notice published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2026, serves as a public announcement and seeks comments from interested parties.
This action is primarily procedural, involving the standard OMB review process for agency information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act. While the notice itself does not impose new obligations or penalties, regulated entities and other stakeholders are encouraged to review the proposed information collection and submit comments to the NTIA and OMB by the specified deadline. The purpose is to ensure the collection is necessary, efficient, and does not impose undue burdens. Specific deadlines for public comment are typically provided within the full Federal Register document, though not explicitly detailed in this summary.
What to do next
- Review the NTIA Space Launch Frequency Coordination Portal information collection request.
- Submit comments to NTIA and OMB if desired.

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
