PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU SEEKS COMMENTS ON REGION 
16 (KANSAS) REVISED 700 MHZ REGIONAL PLAN
PS Docket No. 06-229; WT Docket No. 02-378
The Public Notice, DA 08-2624, released by the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau on 
December 1, 2008, in the above captioned proceeding, contained typographical errors and is hereby 
corrected as follows:  
1. The first paragraph is revised to read as follows:
Introduction.  On January 30, 2008, the Region 16 (Kansas)1 700 MHz Regional Planning 
Committee (RPC) (Region 16) submitted a proposed revised 700 MHz Public Safety Plan 
(Revised Plan) for General Use2 spectrum in the 769-775/799-805 MHz band.3  Region 16 
concurrently requested a temporary, limited waiver of Sections 90.527(a)(3) and (6), 47 C.F.R. §§ 
90.527(a)(3), (6) (requiring that regional plans incorporate a general description of how the 
spectrum would be allotted among the various eligible users, and a detailed description of how 
the plan put the spectrum to the best possible use).4 Region 16 states that it utilizes the Computer 
Aided Pre-Allocation Resource and Database (CAPRAD) program as a guideline for assigning 
spectrum (the CAPRAD system is a spectrum management tool provided by the National Institute 
of Justice, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC).  The 
CAPRAD system is available at http://caprad.nlectc.du.edu.).  CAPRAD was not updated to 
reflect the new consolidated band frequencies prior to the Bureau’s plan amendment filing 
deadline.
2. The second paragraph is revised to read as follows:
Region 16 also requested waiver of Section 90.527(a)(5), because it was unable to coordinate the 
Revised Plan with Region 34 (Oklahoma).5 Section 90.527(a)(5) provides that regional plans 
  
1 The Region 16 (Kansas) 700 MHz regional planning area includes the entire state of Kansas.   
2 The General Use spectrum is administered by regional planning committees (RPCs) and is licensed for public 
safety services on a site-by-site basis in accordance with the relevant Commission-approved regional plan and 
frequency coordination.

the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, PS Docket No. 06-229 (filed Jan. 30, 2008) (Revised Plan and 
Waiver Request).  The Region 16 plan was initially submitted to the Commission on June 26, 2007.

must include an explanation of how the plan had been coordinated with adjacent regions.6 On 
June 16, 2008, Region 16 submitted a revised Appendix L – Region 16 (Kansas) 700 MHz 
General Use Channel Assignment, and withdrew its request for temporary, limited waiver of 
Sections 90.527(a)(3) and (6).7 On October 7, 2008, Region 16 submitted a Letter of 
Concurrence from Region 34 and provided a signed certification that all meetings were open to 
the public.8 On October 16, 2008, Region 16 resubmitted a corrected copy of the Region 34 letter 
of concurrence.9  As a result, the waiver requests are now moot.
3. The third paragraph, first sentence is revised to read as follows:
Background.  In 1998, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) established a 
structure to allow RPCs optimal flexibility to meet state and local needs, encourage innovative 
use of the spectrum, and accommodate new and as yet unanticipated developments in technology 
and equipment.10
