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 public safety spectrum 
in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 54 are encouraged to attend.  For further information
