You could read the petition itself on
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/amsat-na/filings/index.html

Short version: the current rules call for anybody who is going to 
launch a satellite to give notice to the FCC sooner than is really 
practical or necessary. The proposal is to allow much shorter notice, 
and to measure it differently. The new procedures will be easier for 
everybody and more practical.
