COMMITTEES TO HOLD 700 MHz REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY PLANNING 
AND 800 MHz NPSPAC REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY PLANNING MEETINGS
PR Docket No. 91-228
The Region 13 (Illinois)1 Public Safety Regional Planning Committees will hold two 
consecutive planning meetings on Tuesday, August 7, 2007.  Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the 800 
MHz Public Safety Regional Planning Committee will convene at the University of Illinois at 
Champaign, Illinois. The meeting will be held in the Motor Pool Conference Room B3, Garage 
and Carpool Building, 1701 South Oak Street, West of the Assembly Hall West parking lot. The 
purpose of this meeting is to review any pending 800 MHz applications and to address any 
outstanding issues.  
Immediately following the 800 MHz Public Safety Regional Planning Committee 
meeting, the 700 MHz Public Safety Regional Planning Committee will convene at the same
location.  The purpose of this meeting is to review the approval process of the pending draft 700 
MHz plan.
Both of the Region 13 Public Safety Regional Planning Committee meetings are open to 
the public. All eligible public safety providers whose sole or principal purpose is to protect the 
safety of life, health, or property in Region 13 may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that 
public 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.  
 
1 The Region 13 (Illinois) area includes the entire state of Illinois, except for the “Southern Lake Michigan” counties 
of Winnebago, McHenry, Cook, Kane, Kendall, Grundy, Boone, Lake, DuPage, DeKalb, Will and Kankakee.
