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.

In reply comments in response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry (NOI) on the spectrum access needs of ISAM operations, NTIA reiterates that it is working with federal agencies to identify opportunities for both commercial industry and federal agencies to benefit from ISAM services. The reply comments provide additional perspective on the path forward for meeting the current and future spectrum needs of this emerging industry as stable and predictable spectrum access will be critical to the development of these new space-based services.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is pleased to offer ex parte comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the above-captioned proceeding. As the President’s principal adviser on telecommunications and information policy, NTIA is charged with developing, coordinating, and effectively presenting Executive Branch views to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission).
