Comments are due on or before February 27, 2004. See http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome//frnotices/2004/RWBPTFinal.htm).
Also last week, NTIA asked for public participation in the President's Spectrum Initiative. NTIA invited comments on spectrum policy reform from all interested parties in a Federal Register Notice to be published today, February 2. The Administration announced its commitment to develop and implement a modernized United States spectrum policy. Pursuant to this commitment, the Secretary of Commerce is conducting a comprehensive review to develop recommendations for improving the United States' spectrum management policies regarding the organization, processes, and procedures affecting Federal government, State, local and private sector spectrum use.
