Spectrum Coordination Act
HR 2171, the Spectrum Coordination Act, requires federal agencies to publicly document coordination efforts before spectrum reallocations that could impact government operations. It mandates the Assistant Secretary to file specific information - including dates, affected agencies, and technical/policy concerns - with the public record before the FCC finalizes spectrum rules. The bill also requires the FCC to publish a summary of any resolved concerns in the Federal Register alongside final rules, improving transparency for federal entities like the military or emergency services that rely on radio spectrum. This procedural bill affects the FCC, NTIA, and federal agencies managing spectrum use.
