Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Notices
47256). The GHLs are intended to serve
as a benchmark harvest level for
participants in the charter fishery.
This announcement is consistent with
50 CFR 300.65(c)(2), which requires that
GHLs for IPHC regulatory areas 2C and
3A be specified by NMFS and
announced by publication in the
Federal Register no later than 30 days
after receiving information from the
IPHC. The IPHC annually establishes
the constant exploitation yield (CEY) for
halibut in IPHC regulatory areas 2C and
3A. Regulations at § 300.65(c)(1)
establish the GHLs based on the CEY
that is established annually by the IPHC.
The CEY established by the IPHC for
2008 is 6,500,000 lb (2,948.4 mt) in Area
2C and 28,960,000 lb (13,136.0 mt) in
Area 3A. The corresponding GHLs are
931,000 lb (447.2 mt) in Area 2C, and
3,650,000 lb (1,655.6 mt) in Area 3A.
The GHL in Area 2C has been reduced
from the 2007 level of 1,432,000 lb
(649.5 mt). The GHL for Area 3A did not
change.
This is a notice of the GHLs in Areas
2C and 3A for 2008 and does not require
any regulatory action by NMFS. If a
GHL is exceeded in 2008, NMFS will
notify the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) in
writing within 30 days of receipt of that
information. The Council has proposed
management actions to reduce the
harvest of Pacific halibut in the Area 2C
guided charter vessel fishery to the GHL
(72 FR 74257, December 31, 2007). The
Secretary of Commerce may issue a final
rule after consideration of the 2008 GHL
and public comments on the proposed
rule.
Classification
This notice does not require any
additional regulatory action by NMFS
and does not impose any additional
restrictions on harvests by the charter
fishery. If a GHL is exceeded in any
year, the Council would be notified, but
would not be required to take action.
This process of notification is intended
to provide the Council with information
about the level of Pacific halibut harvest
by the charter fishery in a given year
and could prompt future action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In May 2003, President Bush
established the Spectrum Policy
Initiative to promote the development
and implementation of a United States
spectrum policy for the 21st Century.1
In response to the Spectrum Policy
Initiative, the Secretary of Commerce
established a Federal Government
Spectrum Task Force and initiated a
series of public meetings to address
policies affecting spectrum use by the
federal, state, and local governments,
and the private sector. The
recommendations resulting from these
activities were included in two reports
released by the Secretary of Commerce
in June 2004.2 Based on the
1 Presidential Memorandum on Spectrum Policy
for the 21st Century, 69 FR 1568 (Jan. 9, 2004), 39
Weekly Comp. Pres. Doc. 726, 727 (May 29, 2003),

recommendations contained in these
reports, the President directed the
federal agencies on November 30, 2004,
to plan the implementation of the
recommendations contained in the
reports.3
One of these recommendations stated
that NTIA and the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), in
coordination with the federal agencies
are to establish a Test-Bed to examine
the feasibility of increased sharing
between federal and non-federal users.4
Specifically, the Test-Bed
recommendation states:
Within two years of this report’s
publication, NTIA and the FCC should
establish a pilot program to allow for
increased sharing between federal and
non-federal users. NTIA and the FCC
should each identify a segment of
spectrum of equal bandwidth within
their respective jurisdiction for this
program. Each segment should be
approximately 10 MHz for assignment
on a shared basis for federal and nonfederal use. The spectrum to be
identified for this pilot program could
come from bands currently allocated on
either an exclusive or shared basis. Two
years after the inception of the pilot
program, NTIA and the FCC should
provide reports outlining the results and
suggesting appropriate procedures for
expanding the program as appropriate.5
The recommendation to establish the
Test-Bed recognized that the increased
use of spectrum for federal and nonfederal communications necessitates
increased sharing to benefit both federal
and non-federal users of the spectrum.
On June 8, 2006, NTIA published a
Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in the Federal
Register seeking public comment on
issues related to the Test-Bed.6 The FCC
also solicited public comment on issues
related to the Test-Bed through a
Government Spectrum Task Force (June 2004)
(‘‘Report 1’’); Department of Commerce, Spectrum
Policy for the 21st Century - The President’s
Spectrum Policy Initiative: Report 2

the Presidential Spectrum Policy
Initiative to advise the Assistant
Secretary of Communications and
Information, Department of Commerce,
on needed reforms to spectrum policies
and management to enable the
introduction of new spectrum
dependent technologies and services.9
NTIA also sought comments from the
Interdepartment Radio Advisory
Committee (IRAC).10 The public
responses to the NTIA NOI and FCC PN
as well as the comments provided by
the CSMAC and the IRAC were used to
develop the federal portion of the TestBed described below.

II. Test-Bed Description
Test-Bed Goal: To objectively
evaluate new technologies to facilitate
sharing between federal and non-federal
spectrum users. If sharing is
successfully demonstrated, the results of
the Test-Bed can be used as the basis to
establish service rules for the
technologies that have operated in the
Test-Bed frequency bands.11
Number of Simultaneously Operating
Test-Beds: One.
Test-Bed Technology: Equipment

11 The subsequent designation of bands where the
technologies might be authorized to operate on a
permanent basis would be the subject of a separate
rulemaking.
12 Dynamic Spectrum Access technology allows a
radio device to (i) evaluate its radio frequency
environment using spectrum sensing, geo-location,
or a combination of spectrum sensing and geolocation techniques, (ii) determine which
frequencies are available for use on a noninterference basis, and (iii) reconfigure itself to
operate on the identified frequencies.

Limitations on Test-Bed Operations:
Frequency and/or geographic
limitations may be identified as
necessary.
Protection of Incumbent Spectrum
Users: To address potential interference
to incumbent spectrum users the TestBed employing DSA equipment will be
performed in three phases:
Phase 1 - Equipment
Characterization. Equipment employing
DSA techniques will be sent to the
NTIA Institute for Telecommunication
Sciences in Boulder, Colorado and
characterization measurements of the
DSA capabilities in response to
simulated environmental signals will be
performed.
Phase 2 - Evaluation of Capabilities.
After successful completion of Phase 1,
the DSA capabilities of the equipment
in the geographic area of the Test-Bed
will be evaluated.
Phase 3 - Field Operation Evaluation.
After successful completion of Phase 2,
the DSA equipment will be permitted to
transmit in an actual radio frequency
signal environment. An automatic signal
logging capability will be used during
the operation of the Test-Bed to help
resolve interference events if they occur.
A point-of-contact will also be
established to stop Test-Bed operations
if interference is reported.
Planning and Evaluation of Test-Bed:
A flexible peer review process open to
the public will be employed.13 Federal
and non-federal users will have an
opportunity to participate in the
development of test plans, review status
reports, and review the final report on
the results of the Test-Bed.
III. Expressions of Interest
The following criteria will be used to
evaluate the DSA technologies proposed
for the Test-Bed:14
