safety agencies in all areas of government, including state, municipality, county, and Native 
American Tribal, and non-governmental organizations eligible under Section 90.523 of the 
Commission’s rules, be represented in order to ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs 
are considered in the allocation process. Administrators who are not oriented in the 
communications field should delegate someone with this knowledge to attend, participate, and 
represent their agency’s needs.  
All interested parties wishing to participate in the planning for the use of public safety 
spectrum in the 700 MHz, 800 MHz and 4.9 GHz bands within Region 8 should plan to attend.
