For easier C-band accelerated clearing in Phase II, the FCC should issue an updated incumbent earth station list at least a month before the end of each quarter, SES said. In a docket 18-122 filing Thursday recapping a meeting with Wireless and International Bureau and Office of General Counsel staff, SES representatives said the updated earth station list would help satellite operators in providing updates to transition plans. SES said the agency should treat satellite operators' September 2021 transition plans as preliminary for Phase II and allow amendments in 2023. SES said the FCC should put out Phase II certification procedures in Q2 2023, and it would be premature for it to validate any satellite operator's Phase II completion certification until all incumbent earth stations have been visited and the relocation coordinator has done final accounting of each operator's antennas and feeds. SES said that process likely can't be completed until Q3 2023.
