	SATELLITE BACKLOG ACTION GROUP MEETING
GENEVA, 1-2 OCTOBER 2001		

Director, Radiocommunication Bureau
the backlog in processing NOTICES for advance publication, requests for coordination and notification 
of satellite network systems
1	Introduction
1.1	This document provides details of the backlog in the processing, by the Bureau, of notices received for non-planned satellite networks (API, Coordination and Notification). Details of backlogs in processing notices for planned services are included in other documents (see SATBAG‑01/5 and SATBAG-01/6).
1.2	Statistics relating to the notices received by the Bureau and the backlogs in processing these notices are included in annexes to this document as follows:
Annex 1:	Advance Publication, Coordination Requests and Notifications received and treated over the last 15 months up to end-July 2001
Annex 2:	Coordination requests received and treated since January 1998
Annex 3:	Composition of the current backlog in coordination requests by administrations
Annex 4:	Some examples of multiple filings (coordination requests) taken from the current backlog
Annex 5:	Some examples of multiple API filings
Annex 6:	Graphical representation of trends in receipt, publication and backlog since 1 January 1994
2	Some useful indicators
2.1	The following points emerge from the statistical data maintained by the Bureau.
APIs:
•	Average receipt of APIs since January 1998 - 62 per month.
•	Average receipt of APIs for past 12 months - 55 per month.
Coordination request:
•	Average receipt of coordination requests since January 1998 - 49.7 per month.
•	Average receipt of coordination requests for past 12 months - 39.5 per month.
•	Average treatment rate since January 1998 - 32.3 per month.
•	Average treatment rate for past 12 months - 41.7 per month.

Notification (Space stations):
•	Average receipt (12 months) - 8.75 per month.
•	Average treatment rate (12 months) - 9.9 per month.
Notification (Earth stations):
•	Average receipt (12 months) - 19.3 per month.
•	Average treatment rate (12 months) - 12.00 per month.
2.2	Further analysis is being undertaken, particularly in respect of over-filing and the extent to which satellite networks are submitted and treated but not brought into use. Results will be presented at the SAT-BAG meeting.
3	Due diligence
3.1	A report on the effect of administrative due diligence (Resolution 49 (WRC‑97)) was provided by the BR to WRC‑2000 (Document 32). In that report it was noted that, at that point, the Bureau had taken action pursuant to resolves 6 of Resolution 49 to cancel 36 satellite networks. However, all of these cancellations had reached the maximum (nine year) period for bringing into use, pursuant to Resolution 51 (WRC‑97) and S11.44, and would have been cancelled in any event. It was noted also that, when requested to provide due diligence information (triggered by the date of bringing into use of their satellite networks) administrations generally requested, whenever possible, an extension of the date of bringing into use, up to the maximum limit authorized (S11.44 and S11.44B to S11.44I). The result of these provisions is that, for a majority of cases, the due diligence information needs to be provided not later than 21 November 2003 (resolves 2 of Resolution 49). It was reported that any effect of administrative due diligence may not, therefore, be fully apparent until at least that date.
3.2	The Bureau experience since WRC‑2000 has reinforced the above‑mentioned conclusion. In application of Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-2000), there has been considerable work for the Bureau in identifying networks covered by resolves 1, 2 or 3 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 with recorded dates of bringing into use up to 30 June 2001. For a detailed report see Document RRB2001/273 provided to the 24th meeting of the RRB (10‑18 September 2001).
3.3	The end result has been the cancellation of 45 networks of which 42 are as a result of the expiry of the maximum time periods pursuant to S11.44 and S11.44B to S11.44I and the cancellation of 3 networks due solely to a lack of provision of due diligence information.
3.4	As a further step to facilitate review of the backlog, the Bureau has written to administrations (on 20 August 2001) that have a number of notices awaiting treatment. Attention has been drawn to Council Resolution 1182 which urges Member States "to refrain from submitting to the Bureau satellite networks which have little likelihood of being brought into use". Accordingly, the administrations involved have been asked whether they could review their filings and consider cancelling those filings that, based on a current assessment, have little likelihood of being brought into use. The SAT-BAG will be informed of the response to this request.

Notes relating to Tables 1 and 2
There are likely to be some slight discrepancies in the numbers shown over the 15‑month period. This is due to cases being merged after detailed analysis or being cancelled at the request of the administration. As these activities represent work carried out by the Bureau, it was considered more appropriate to reflect these adjustments only in the total backlog outstanding.
Table description
•	Received - table provides the number of cases received (BR registry date) during the reporting period.
•	Published - table provides the number of cases published during the reporting period in the relevant special sections or parts with the associated (earliest) date of receipt.
