The Spectrum Coordination Initiative involves five high-level changes to the management process.<\/p>\n<p>First, the chair of the FCC and the assistant secretary of the NTIA will hold formal, monthly meetings to conduct joint spectrum planning. Both agencies will also update their nearly 20-year-old memorandum of understanding to, \u201caddress gaps in government coordination and to better reflect today\u2019s spectrum opportunities and challenges,\u201d according to the initiative announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC and NTIA also said they would collaborate to help inform the development of a national spectrum strategy, increase transparency around spectrum use and needs, and establish long-term spectrum planning and coordination. Both agencies also agreed to work cooperatively to develop processes for spectrum engineering compatibility analysis. These will include a compilation of principles, guidelines, accepted technical standards, interference protection criteria, propagation models, and other characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the FCC and NTIA said the initiative aims to foster proactive technical exchange and engagement with industry and other federal agencies by participating in cross-agency advisory groups. The FCC will participate as an observer in the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee, and NTIA will participate as an observer in the FCC\u2019s Technological Advisory Council and the Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow more than ever we need a whole-of-government approach to spectrum policy,\u201d said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. \u201cOver the past few years we\u2019ve seen the cost of not having one \u2014 and we need a non-stop effort to fix that. I appreciate [NTIA] Assistant Secretary Davidson\u2019s leadership and his willingness to work with me to revitalize the interagency coordination process so that it once again is able to produce results for consumers and the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) rolled out a new Spectrum Coordination Initiative on Tuesday to improve U.S. government coordination on spectrum management and policy issues.
