Committee background
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 directed the FCC to reallocate certain television spectrum in the 700 MHz band (TV Channels 60-69) to various public safety and commercial services. The Regional Planning Committee is responsible for establishing a regional plan for the use of the public safety channels that is consistent with national plan elements established by the National Coordinating Committee (NCC). A final draft of the Region 43 Plan was adopted by the Committee in January 2005 and is now being processed for transmittal to the FCC for approval. The Committee is also responsible for planning and coordinating the use of the 4.9 GHz public safety band and a final draft Plan was adopted in April 2005 and is now being processed for transmittal to the FCC for approval.
The Committee meets monthly on the last Wednesday of the month.
