Since all eligible public safety providers in Region 39 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.
Both Region 39 700 MHz and 800 MHz Public Safety RPC meetings are 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 39 should plan to attend.  For further information, please
