The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is pleased to offer ex parte comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice) in the above-captioned proceeding. As the President’s principal advisor on telecommunications and information policy, NTIA is charged with developing, coordinating, and presenting the Executive Branch’s views to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission). NTIA is deeply committed to advancing the Internet for All programs and promoting a robust digital economy.

NTIA asks the FCC to remove from its 3.45 GHz coordination rules the so-called “Cooperative Planning Area” (CPA) for Norfolk, Virginia due to the Department of Defense’s conclusion that the CPA is unnecessary.

NTIA, NASA, and NOAA file comments supporting the FCC’s proposal to harmonize domestic 24 GHz out-of-band emission (OOBE) limits with those adopted at the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19). The new rules would protect the use of federal satellites monitoring hurricane, tornado, and climate activity to develop accurate and timely severe weather forecasts – while still permitting deployment of new and innovative commercial wireless services.
