Second Annual Report on the Status of Spectrum Repurposing
The United States continues to build on its 5G leadership and is critically focused on repurposing radiofrequency spectrum – especially through investment in America’s mid-band spectrum. Our country leads the world in availability of high- and low-band spectrum for commercial wireless services. Now, as this Report highlights, the United States is making tremendous strides in repurposing important mid-band spectrum.

Assessment of Compatibility between Global Positioning System Receivers and Adjacent Band Base Station and User Equipment Transmitters
This technical memorandum provides the results of a compatibility assessment between terrestrial GPS L1 coarse/acquisition (C/A) code receivers operating in the 1559-1610 MHz RNSS band and terrestrial operations in the 1526-1536 MHz, 1627.5 1637.5 MHz, and 1646.5-1656.5 MHz bands. The Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) Technical Focus Group (TFG) assessed compatibility between different categories of GPS L1 C/A code receivers and the proposed terrestrial deployment by examining the degradation in carrier-to-noise density ratio (C/N0), loss-of-lock, position error, and increase in acquisition/reacquisition time for GPS receivers.

NTIA Letter to FCC Chairman Regarding T-Band Grant Program
This letter explains the views of NTIA about its obligations under section 6103 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Act). In NTIA’s view, the Act provides clearly differentiated responsibilities for the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) and NTIA with respect to the reallocation of the 417-512 MHz (T-Band) spectrum - - the Commission is to reallocate and auction the spectrum and NTIA is to administer a grant program with the auction proceeds to cover the affected public safety entities’ relocation costs.
NTIA Plan to Congress on Declassification and Clearances Related to the Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership
The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 requires NTIA to establish an information sharing program to ensure that small, rural providers have access to the supply chain risk information they need before they make an investment. To meet this requirement, NTIA established the Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership (C-SCRIP) in July 2020. Section 8 of the Act also requires NTIA within 180 days to submit a plan to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate for (i) declassifying material, when feasible, to help share information regarding supply chain security risks with trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of communications equipment or services; and (ii) expediting and expanding the provision of security clearances to facilitate information sharing regarding supply chain security risks with trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of communications equipment or services.
