Both Region 30 Public Safety RPCs’ meetings are open to the public.  All public safety 
providers in Region 30 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 NPSPAC bands within Region 30 should plan to attend.
