Please send signed contracts to the national telecommunications manager by April 25, 2008. Coordination with the national records administration is necessary before the agreement is forwarded to the National Radio Communication Division. The radio spectrum is the high-frequency (RF) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the United States, regulatory responsibility for radio spectrum is shared between the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The FCC, an independent regulator, manages frequencies for non-federal uses (i.e. the state, local, commercial, private and personal government) and the NTIA, an operational unit of the Department of Commerce, manages frequencies for use by the Federal Government (for example. B use by the military, FAA and FBI). Within the FCC, the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) advises on technical and policy issues related to the allocation and use of frequencies. If the agreements are out of date or have not been implemented, radio program staff will complete as many MOU forms as possible for known common frequencies. The forms are then made available to local law enforcement, fire brigades and, if necessary, others, via the field service line, by local broadcasters. Local service staff must then collect signatures from local officials of the organization that owns the frequency – or uses our frequency. Agreements must be reached so that we can legally share the frequencies allocated to other organizations and that we can share our frequencies with other organizations. The completion of this task will allow us to continue to share the frequencies with other organizations that we have worked so over the years.
Such agreements, which already exist and are less than five years old, should be sent to the state`s telecommunications manager, Dexter Dearth. Appendixes 1 and 2 provide templates illustrating the information that should be included in these agreements. Any Commission document proposing an amendment or modification of the spectrum allocation table and the corresponding press release is available for download in the FCC`s history. The history file contains the complete document for each document, including information about its publication in the Federal Register and the FCC Protocol. The history file also contains changes made to the table. When a field (which represents a frequency band) is changed, changes to the history file are fully explained. Note: The history file format was revised on October 4, 2004 and some of the features described above are only available from that date.
