Section 90.527 states that to prepare the regional plans for the 700 MHz band, the regional planning committees will require input from those entities within the regions that will be eligible to receive licenses under the plans.

For information provide to, or exchanged among third parties, the data will be used to establish eligibility. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.
