<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Please find attached the SEA resolution concerning the request for Agency Review for publication of the revised CCSDS SCID Code Assignment Control Procedures Magenta Book. The
major changes are the inclusion of frequency band bins for allocation of Qualified SCID (Q-SCID), references to the new registries defined in the RMP, and re-classifying the document as a Magenta Book based upon its type.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">This fixes all of the conditions raised in the earlier CESG vote and the CMC feedback that we also received. There are no remaining conditions that I am aware of aside from the one requesting that this document
be given an Agency review because it is a major change to a key document and has an effect on the Agency procedures for requesting and relinquishing SCIDs. In accordance with one CMC condition it does not require the specification of uplink and downlink
<b><i>frequencies</i></b>, but it does require correct specification of the uplink and downlink
<b><i>frequency bands</i></b>, aligned to the actual frequency ranges and not just to some colloquial use of, for example, "K-band" when the actual frequency in use falls into the X-band range.
