Background: Access to radiofrequency spectrum is required for all
wireless services. Sufficient access to
spectrum is critical to the U.S. economy,
as well as to many functions of civil
society and federal, state and local
government operations. Wireless phone
and internet networks, Wi-Fi and
trunked radio systems, intelligent
transportation systems, satellite
communications and remote sensing all
rely on transmission and receipt of
signals using RF spectrum, as do
satellite radiolocation systems and
government radars used for
aeronautical, maritime, and terrestrial
operations such as weather forecasting,
aircraft safety and national defense.
NTIA oversees the Federal
Government’s use of spectrum and
serves as the chief advisor to the
President on issues of
telecommunications policy, which
includes the management of spectrum.
NTIA works closely with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC),
which regulates and manages spectrum
use by non-Federal entities, including
commercial service providers, state and
local governments and private-sector
users such as utility companies,
manufacturers and academic and
scientific institutions.
The Secretary of Commerce, working
through NTIA and in collaboration with
the FCC, is developing a National
Spectrum Strategy (NSS) and
implementation plan. The NSS will
outline an approach to maintain U.S.
leadership in advanced wireless
technologies and services and to ensure
the availability of spectrum resources to
meet national requirements. As part of
this effort, NTIA is seeking views and
inputs from interested parties and
stakeholders in several ways. These
listening sessions will allow members of
the public to provide oral presentations
to those charged with developing the
spectrum strategy and to listen to the
views and perspectives of other
speakers. The listening sessions will be
recorded and made available on NTIA’s
website, at [https://ntia.gov ].

Topics that speakers may consider
addressing in their oral presentations
include, but are not limited to:
The development of a spectrum
‘‘pipeline’’ of bands to study for
repurposing, to ensure that there will be
sufficient spectrum for existing and
future federal and non-federal services
and missions.
The spectrum requirements for nextgeneration networks and technologies.
Technologies or processes that are
currently available but perhaps not
sufficiently used to facilitate spectrum
sharing.
Additional research and development
needed for new spectrum sharing
models or regimes.
Processes needed to develop and
implement a long-term strategic
spectrum planning process.
Improved methods of engagement
between federal and non-federal
stakeholders regarding spectrum
allocation and authorization,
repurposing, sharing, and coordination
Innovations and next-generation
capabilities for spectrum management
models (including both licensed and
unlicensed) to expand and improve
spectrum access.
Policies that would help identify and
enable development of new and
innovative uses of spectrum.
Separately, NTIA is releasing a
Request for Comments (RFC) that will
allow interested parties to file written
comments on these and related subjects.
Parties can file comments at
regulations.gov, utilizing the docket
number NTIA–2023–0003. The RFC,
including directions for filing written
comments, can be found on NTIA’s
website at [https://www.ntia.gov].
Parties do not have to file written
comments in response to the RFC in
order to sign up to speak during a
listening session or vice versa. Parties
are encouraged, however, to review the
RFC, including the comprehensive list
of questions presented in that
document, to inform their presentations
during the listening sessions.
