Spectrum Coordination Act

This bill requires two federal agencies - the Federal Communications Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration - to publicly document how they coordinate with each other when making decisions about radio frequency spectrum that might affect federal government users. When the FCC proposes changes to spectrum allocation that could impact federal agencies, NTIA must file information in the public record showing when they were notified, which federal entities might be affected, and what concerns were raised. If the FCC moves forward with final rules on spectrum changes, they must publish a summary explaining their coordination efforts and how any concerns were addressed. The bill also requires these two agencies to update their working agreement within three years to reflect changing technology and policies.
