Advisory Committee for Computer and Information Science and Engineering: Notice of Meeting, 62472-62473 [2014-24691]

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.

SUMMARY: Representatives from Federal research agencies, private industry, and academia will identify R&D in the area of spectrum data requirements that will promote progress toward more efficient spectrum utilization and sharing. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview The Wireless Spectrum Research and Development Senior Steering Group (WSRD SSG) will hold its next workshop, Federal-Commercial Spectrum Data: Understanding Information Exchange Needs, Issues, and Approaches, on October 21, from 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., at the National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd. Room I–1235, Arlington, VA. 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. The event agenda and information about the webcast will be available the week of the event at: https://www.nitrd.gov/ nitrdgroups/index.php?title=Wireless_ Spectrum_Research_and_Development_ (WSRD)#title Background The Presidential Memorandum, Presidential Memorandum on Unleashing the Wireless Broadband Revolution (https://www.whitehouse.gov/ PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the-press-office/presidentialmemorandum-unleashing-wirelessbroadband-revolution), released on June 14, 2013, directed the implementation of ‘‘policies for sharing with authorized non-federal parties of classified, sensitive, or proprietary data regarding assignments, utilization of spectrum, system configurations, business plans, and other information’’. The Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) released a report (https:// www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/ microsites/ostp/pcast_spectrum_report_ final_july_20_2012.pdf) in July 2012 that advocated setting up Spectrum Access System (SAS) databases, with a uniform interface analogous to the Internet’s Domain Naming System (DNS), to provide federal information and access restrictions. Over the past three years, the WSRD has held a series of workshops that addressed the challenge defined in these documents. Information gathered from this workshop will be instrumental in helping the WSRD SSG develop recommendations that will be released in a workshop report prepared for the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
