REGION 13 (ILLINOIS) PUBLIC SAFETY REGIONAL PLANNING 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 Wednesday, February 13, 2008.  Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the 800 MHz NSPAC 
Regional Public Safety Planning Committee will convene at the Illinois State University Campus, 100 
North University Street (Spotlight Conference Room, Bone Student Center), Normal, Illinois.  The 
purpose of this meeting is to review any pending 800 MHz applications and to address any outstanding 
issues.  Immediately following the 800 MHz NSPAC Regional Public Safety 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 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.  
All interested parties wishing to participate in the planning for the use of public safety spectrum 
in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 13 should plan to attend.  For further information, 
please contact:
