I think the FCC's hands are tied until the treaty is ratified. Then all it

Element 1.

"Executive Order" is what its name implies - and order by the
President. Regulatory agencies don't work on that level. It will
be an Order - probably by the Chief of the Wireless Telecomm Bureau
or even the Division Chief under delegated authority. If we're
lucky it will be without NPRM or NOI because it removes a burden
on the licensee.

It could be as simple as 'Effective (fill in date here), completion of Element
1 is waived as a license requirement". One sentence.

One can hope.
