o National Regional Planning Council Update
o Utilization of the Computer Assisted Pre-Coordination and Database System
o Update on the D-Block spectrum
Both Region 54 Public Safety RPC meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public safety 
providers in Region 54 may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that eligible 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 planning for the use of public safety spectrum in 
the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 54 should plan to attend.  For further information,
