Bill > HR2171

This bill, known as the Spectrum Coordination Act, aims to improve federal coordination in spectrum management, which involves the allocation and use of radio frequency spectrum. Specifically, the bill requires the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to file public notices about potential spectrum actions, including details about which federal entities might be impacted, any technical or procedural concerns, and policy considerations. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must also publish an interagency coordination summary when issuing final rules related to spectrum actions, detailing how any raised concerns were addressed. The bill mandates that the FCC and NTIA update their existing Memorandum of Understanding every 3-4 years to reflect changing technological, procedural, and policy circumstances. Importantly, the bill includes protections to prevent the disclosure of classified or otherwise exempt information. A "spectrum action" is defined as a proposed action by the FCC to reallocate radio frequency spectrum through competitive bidding or licensing that could potentially impact federal spectrum operations. The goal is to promote more efficient and coordinated use of radio spectrum in the public interest.
