course of ERIC’s review and the Commission’s consideration of the information provided.  Any agencies 
receiving such information are subject to the same restrictions as the Commission with respect to 
disclosure.  Parties that plan to file with a request for confidential treatment of their filing should indicate 
in their request for confidentiality whether they oppose disclosure to other Federal agencies under the 
terms of section 0.442.
Finally,  pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a), we advise parties that presentations by other Federal 
agencies addressing the interoperability showings or related materials will be treated as exempt from our 
ex parte rules for purposes of Docket PS 06-229.  We find the public interest would be served by this 
exemption in order to ensure adequate coordination with other interested Federal agencies while 
recognizing the sensitive nature of some of the information provided regarding public safety 
communications.
