REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY PLANNING MEETINGS
PR Docket 91-228
The Region 13 (Illinois)1 Public Safety Regional Planning Committees will hold two consecutive 
planning meetings on Thursday, May 15, 2008.  Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the 800 MHz NPSPAC Public 
Safety Regional Planning Committee will convene at the South Jacksonville Municipal Center, 
301 Dewey Drive, South Jacksonville, 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 NPSPAC Public Safety Regional Planning Committee 
meeting, the 700 MHz Regional Public Safety Planning meeting will convene at the same location.  The 
purpose of this meeting is to review the draft of the 700 MHz plan.
Both 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, 47 C.F.R. § 90.523, 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 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
