Dear Congressman LoBiondo:
Thank you for your letter requesting information regarding the assignment and use of
radio spectrum.
Your letter raises important questions regarding spectrum usage. The Commission is
continuing its efforts to encourage the efficient use ofour nation's scarce spectrum, which
includes ensuring that those currently licensed are using their assigned frequencies effectively. I
have enclosed information on the Commission's rules and processes regarding spectrum use.
I appreciate your interest in this area. Please do not hesitate to contact me ifI can be of
any further assistance.
~y,
VJulius Genachowski
