PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU ANNOUNCES
REGION 13 (ILLINOIS) PUBLIC SAFETY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEES TO HOLD 
700 MHZ AND 800 MHZ NPSPAC MEETINGS
PR Docket No. 91-228
The Region 13 (Illinois)1 Public Safety Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) will hold two 
consecutive planning meetings on Wednesday, November 16, 2011.  Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the 800 
MHz NPSPAC RPC will convene at the Illinois State Police Academy, 3700 E. Lakeshore Drive, 
Springfield, Illinois.  
Immediately following the 800 MHz NPSPAC RPC meeting, the 700 MHz Public Safety RPC 
will convene at the same location.  The purpose of the meetings is to review pending 800 MHz and 700 
MHz applications and to address any outstanding issues.
Both Region 13 Public Safety RPC meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public safety 
providers in Region 13 may utilize these frequencies.  To ensure that RPC meetings consider each 
agency’s future spectrum needs in the allocation process, it is essential that eligible public safety 
agencies in all areas of government, including state, municipality, county, and Native American Tribal be 
represented.  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:
