Federal-Commercial Spectrum Data; Workshop, 62472 [2014-24741]

Download as PDF 62472 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 201 / Friday, October 17, 2014 / Notices The Productive Development Project was designed to transition producers to higher-profit activities, generate new investment, expand markets and sales, and create new jobs in ways that stimulate sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction. Actions accomplished to ensure sustainability of investments made under the Productive Development Project included the establishment of contracts between beneficiaries and supported cooperatives and major retailers for the purchase of horticulture and dairy products. The Ministry of Agriculture also incorporated the project’s beneficiaries into its national Family Agriculture Plan, its signature agriculture extension service aimed at improving the profitability of individual and small and medium-sized producers. Environmental and Social Sustainability: As part of an effort to ensure environmental and social sustainability, all Projects included consultations with the public regarding various aspects of their implementation. The design of the Projects, including their major activities, was included in a strategic environmental assessment that was completed prior to implementation. The sustainability of the projects was also enhanced by the institutional capacity building and training in environmental management acquired through the close cooperation among the environmental units of the implementing agencies, the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA), and MCC. The Salvadoran Ministry of Environment (MARN) received Compact funding support to offset the additional regulatory costs associated with the Projects. Over the course of the Compact, collaboration improved between MARN and the environment units of the implementing agencies. The GoES and private sector and civil society organizations have consistently worked to ensure the sustainability of the 2006 Compact and we expect them to continue to support these investments going forward.

Dynamic information sharing and management creates innovative opportunities in many areas including network and business intelligence, devices, applications, public safety operations and security; but developing the next generation of spectrum management tools is complex. It requires consensus among stakeholders on several important issues such as: The purpose of collecting and sharing information, the type and minimal amount of data needed, how to get it into the SAS, the necessary level of security, and enforcement. The NTIA and the FCC are increasing their efforts to identify and make available new spectral bands with the understanding that this will necessitate the use of spectrum sharing techniques. To ensure success, it is critical to first determine the spectrum data requirements of the stakeholders in order to create new policy and develop new techniques and procedures for dynamic spectrum usage.

make available new spectral bands with the understanding that this will 
necessitate the use of spectrum sharing techniques. To ensure success, 
it is critical to first determine the spectrum data requirements of the
