HR 1325 United States House · 119th Congress

Commercial Remote Sensing Amendment Act of 2025

HR 1325 modifies annual reporting requirements for commercial remote sensing licensees under U.S. law. It shortens the deadline for submitting annual reports from 120 to 60 days and adds new requirements for licensees to report on all applications and licenses categorized by regulatory tier, along with the rationale for each tier. The bill also updates notification procedures and extends the expiration date for certain provisions from September 30, 2020, to September 30, 2030. These changes directly affect companies holding commercial remote sensing licenses that operate Earth-observing satellites. The bill focuses on streamlining and clarifying regulatory reporting processes without altering licensing standards or creating new restrictions.
