Blocks the FCC from approving new satellite licenses, U.S. market access requests, or earth station authorizations when the applicant is held or controlled by a company that makes or provides “covered” communications equipment or services, or by that company’s affiliate. This targets supply‑chain and national security risks in satellite communications.

The prohibition applies only to new grants made on or after enactment. The FCC must issue implementing rules within one year. The measure defines key terms so the rule clearly covers a wide range of satellite ground facilities and operations.
