public. All eligible public safety providers whose sole purpose or principal purpose is to protect the 
safety of life, health, or property within Region 28 would utilize these frequencies. It is essential that not 
only public safety, but all government, Native American Tribal, and non-governmental organizations 
eligible under Section 90.523 of the Commission’s Rules be represented in order to ensure that each 
agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allocation process. Administrators who are not 
conversant with telecommunications technology should ensure that their respective agencies are 
represented by suitably conversant staff.
All interested parties wishing to participate in the planning for the use of the Public Safety 
spectrum in the 700 MHz band and 800 MHz NPSPAC spectrum within Region 28 are encouraged to 
attend.
