Federal Communications Commission FCC 12-68 STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER AJIT V. PAI Re: Recommendations of the Technical Advisory Board for First Responder Interoperability, PS Docket No.12-74, Order of Transmittal I am voting to approve today’s Order of Transmittal, which sends the Interoperability Board’s minimum technical recommendations to the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). My vote is predicated solely on the statutory deadline established by the Spectrum Act, and should not be construed as an expression of any particular view on the recommendations. Nor should it be interpreted as a rejection of the changes proposed by commenters, which the Commission did not have an opportunity to address given the abbreviated nature of this proceeding.
