PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU ANNOUNCES
REGION 9 (FLORIDA) REGIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEES 
TO HOLD 700 MHZ AND 800 MHZ MEETINGS

Gen. Docket No. 90-119 and WT Docket 02-55

The Region 9 (Florida) 700 MHz and 800 MHz Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) will hold two consecutive virtual meetings on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.  The Region 9 700 MHz meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m., via WebEx teleconference.  The Region 9 800 MHz meeting will convene following the adjournment of the 700 MHz RPC meeting.

To participate in the Region 9 700 MHz and 800 MHz RPC meetings, please email David Hazen at David.Hazen@ocfl.net or Jason Matthews at jason.matthews@lcso.org for additional WebEx access information.

The general agenda items for the 700 and 800 MHz RPC meetings include (the final agenda will be provided at meeting):	

· By-Laws and Amendments to the Regional Plans
· FCC & NRPC Updates
· General Status Report from the State of Florida DMS/Public Safety
· Concurrence Report for Regions 1, 10 & 23
· Review of Open Positions for Regional Officers and Sub Region Chair(s)

Both Region 9 meetings are open to the public.  All public safety providers in Region 9 may utilize these 700 MHz and 800 MHz 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 bands within Region 9 should plan to attend.  For further information, please contact:
