PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU ANNOUNCES
REGION 13 (ILLINOIS) PUBLIC SAFETY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEES TO HOLD 
700 MHZ AND 800 MHZ NPSPAC REGIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING
PR Docket No. 91-228
The Region 13 (Illinois)1 Public Safety Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) announce that the 
next 700 MHz and 800 MHz Regional Public Safety planning meeting will be held on Wednesday, 
February 15, 2012, beginning at 10:00 a.m., at the Effingham Central Fire Station, 505 W. Fayette 
Avenue, Effingham, Illinois 62401.  The purpose of the meeting is to review any pending 700 MHz and 
800 MHz applications and to address any outstanding issues.
Since all eligible public safety providers in Region 13 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.  
The Region 13 Public Safety RPC meeting is open to the public.  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:
