MEMORANDUM FOR THE INTERAGENCY GROUP/COUNTERMEASURES. (POLICY)
SUBJECT: Remote Sensing Commercial Satellites
Sometime in the future the Secretary of Commerce may .
call upon the Secretary of Defense to determine those conditions
necessary to meet national security concerns of the US for the
purpose of licensing a private remote-sensing space system,
under the Land Remote-Sensing Commercialization Act of 1984.
The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense. for Policy has asked
the Chairman, National Operations Security Advisory Committee
(NOAC), to undertake an interagency review of the subject and
recommend to the Secretary of Defense standards for the guidance
of the Secretary of Commerce in meeting the national security
concerns in the licensing process.
There is attached hereto a draft Terms of Reference (TOR)
to guide a NOAC working group. I ask the IG/CM(P) members
first, to review the draft TOR and suggest any desired changes,
and second, to provide representation on the NOAC working group
as needed.
Changes to the TOR and related questions may be provided
informally to John Hoover, 697-7641, who will chair the working
group.

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR NATIONAL OPERATIONS
SECURITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Review of Security Implications of Civil
Satellite Remote Sensing Programs
I. TASK The Department of Defense has asked the NOAC to
review the US Civil Satellite Remote Sensing Program
and recommend to the Secretary of Defense standards for
the guidance of the Secretary of Commerce in meeting the
necessary national security concerns in the licensing
process..
II. BACKGROUND
- Under section 101 of the Land Remote-Sensing Commerciali-
zation Act of 1984, the Congress declared that, among other
things, the national interest of the US lies in maintaining
international leadership in civil remote sensing and in
broadly promoting the beneficial use of remote-sensing data.
The Congress declared, also, that land remote sensing by...
private parties of the US affects... national security
concerns of the US.
- Section 402 of the Act prohibits any US person from
operating any private remote-sensing system without a
license (issued by the Secretary of Commerce).
Section 607 of the Act requires the Secretary of Commerce
to consult with the Secretary of Defense on all matters
under the Act affecting national security (including the
issuance of the requisite license); and, the Secretary of
Defense shall determine the conditions necessary to meet
national security concerns.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), under the Department of Commerce, issued a Notice
of Proposed Rul,emaking (51 Fed. Reg. 9971, March 24, 1986)
which, according to the Radio-Television News Directors
Association (RTNDA), would violate the First Amendment.
The thrust of RTNDA objections to the Notice is that the
rules are unconstitutionally vague and would authorize
NOAA to impose impermissible prior restraint. According to
RTNDA, the question is not whether NOAA can take action to
protect national security, but what standards must it use
when doing so.

- Given that commercial multispectral imaging resolution
of other countries, such as France and Japan, is at least
as good now as the US, and over the years along with US,
commercial satellites will achieve even better resolution,
the question becomes, "How does the US accommodate necessary
and inevitable commercial growth in space and still protect
US sensitive information?"
III. SUGGESTED SCOPE OF REVIEW
- What are the national security implications of the
Landsat program?
What are the pros and cons for relaxing the current
resolution criterion for the Landsat program? Is there
likely to be a commercial market for data collected at
better resolutions?
- Are there national security implications of an
extensive media use of better-resolution satellite
imaging capabilities, perhaps to include development
of their own imaging capabilities? The review should
specifically address implications relative to the
military forces of the US, its friends and allies,
and potential adversaries. Could a "Mediasat"
compromise the security of future Grenada- or
Libyan-type operations? Or can the media obtain
the same sort of information by flying aircraft in
international air space at a fraction of the cost of a
satellite?
What measures are available to protect national security
concerns relative to media use of civil satellite imaging
systems, both US and foreign?
IV. POSTULATED STANDARD
Is the following standard consistent with the the NOAC
findings and conclusions? If not, how should it be
amended?
The Department of Defense does not impose a technical
limit as a standard precedent to the issuance of a license
by the Secretary of Commerce so long as the applicant
complies strictly with PL 98-365, section 402(b)(5), with
respect to providing data collection characteristics and
orbital data. However, notwithstanding the grant of a
license, the licensee must agree as a condition of the
license to the following:

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/12/05: CIA-RDP89BO1356R000300420039-9
'When the Secretary of Defense, acting on the advice
of, or with the concurrence of, the Chairman, Joint Chiefs
of Staff, declares that the disclosure of data collected
from particular orbits during a particular timeframe
would pose a serious and immediate threat to distinct and
compelling national security, that data shall be withheld
from public distribution or disclosure for so long as the
threat exists or until the same data can no longer be held
undisclosed because of actual public disclosure by other
means.'"
V. REPORT
After coordination with the IG/CM(P) the results of the NOAC
review and the NOAC recommendations should be reported
direct to the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy,
Washington, D.C. 20301.
