Office of Spectrum Management Federal Long-Range Spectrum Plan V. Plan for Federal Use of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Federal use of the spectrum is guided by the National Table of Frequency Allocations and, in particular, the spectrum allocated for use by the Federal agencies. As is current practice, there is and will be a limited amount of Federal use of non-government frequency bands, as well as non-government use of Federal frequency bands. The use of shared bands will continue to require coordination between NTIA and the FCC. The Federal agencies plan to use the spectrum for purposes documented in Part II of this Plan, in accordance with the regulations promulgated by NTIA in the Manual of Regulations & Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management (NTIA Manual). In general, the Federal Government plans to maintain current spectrum allocations as shown in the NTIA Manual, and modified by the national implementation of revisions resulting from international radio conferences, as shown in this Part. Further, the Federal Government has long-term requirements for additional spectrum allocations as detailed in Part IV. The satisfaction of Federal telecommunications requirements is heavily dependent on commercial providers, and for that reason, there is a strong Federal interest in the various rulemakings of the FCC. The following sections are a planning version of the National Table consisting of current and planned Government allocations and usage above 30 MHz. The planned allocations are in accordance with the Report of the IRAC's Ad Hoc Group 206, implementing IRAC-approved revisions to the National Table as a result of the Final Acts of the 1992 World Administrative Radio Conference and the 1995 and 1997 World Radiocommunication Conferences.
