The stated callsign, WF9XKA, was a 6 month experimental, now expired. (2012/02/27-2012/08/27) It no longer appears to exist in the FCC database.

Concerned amateurs should email elb@fcc.gov with your objections to the issuance of an experimental license in the amateur service for a commercial satellite which would appear to violate 97.3(a)(4), and requesting that the Commission deny the STA to extend said license.
I just did...

You're welcome!
My guess is that "elb" is a general mailbox for the Experimental Licensing Bureau, or something like that.

Does anyone have the text of the proposed legislation so we can refer to it more specifically in our written comments?

It's not proposed legislation... an experimental license was granted to a commercial satellite builder to operate a downlink on 145.825, in violation of 97.3(a)(4). Due to launch delays, the license has expired, but the company has filed an application for an STA to extend the term of the license another 6 months. The text of the original filing can be found here:
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=initial&applic...
and the STA application here:
