Federal-Commercial Spectrum Sharing Workshop: Models, 
Application, and Impacts of Incentives for Sharing

AGENCY: The National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and 
Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Wireless Spectrum R&D Senior Steering Group (WSRD SSG) has 
been conducting a series of workshops on understanding the fundamental 
issues involved in Federal and Commercial Spectrum Sharing. The seventh 
workshop in this series will focus on incentives. This workshop titled, 
``Federal-Commercial Spectrum Sharing: Models, Applications, and 
Impacts of Incentives for Sharing'', will be held on March 19, 2015, 
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the Stevens Institute of Technology, 
Hoboken, NJ. The workshop will be Webcast and the link will be made 
available at: https://www.nitrd.gov/nitrdgroups/index.php?title=Wireless_Spectrum_Research_and_Development_(WSRD)#title.
 Information gathered from this workshop will be used by the WSRD SSG 
to develop recommendations for the White House Office of Science and 
Technology Policy (OSTP).

DATES: March 19, 2015.
    Background: The WSRD SSG workshop series stems from the June 14, 
2013 Presidential Memorandum, Expanding America's Leadership in 
Wireless Innovation, to make more wireless spectrum available for 
commercial use by encouraging shared access by commercial and federal 
users. One of the directives was to explore and recommend market-based 
or other approaches that would incentivize Federal and commercial users 
to cooperate in sharing spectrum. Different groups have proposed a 
variety of budgetary and administrative incentives for Federal 
agencies. Proposals have included introduction of a spectrum currency 
and setting aside some portion of spectrum auction revenues to 
establish a spectrum efficiency or relocation fund. Internationally, 
the United Kingdom has explored charging spectrum usage fees to 
government agencies.
    Rich and multidisciplinary research questions arise when 
considering incentives for bi-directional spectrum sharing. Sharing 
between government and commercial entities will require innovations in 
technology as well as in business, administrative, and market 
institutions and practices. Federal, public safety, and commercial 
users confront different constraints and strategic options, and can be
