Both of the Region 8 Public Safety RPC meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public 
safety providers in Region 8 may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that public safety agencies in all 
areas of government, including state, municipality, county, and Native American Tribal 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 8 should plan to attend.  For further information,
