Division Efforts Underway (Cont’d) NTIA/NHTSA E-911 ICO
• “(A) Establish a joint program to facilitate coordination and communication between Federal, State, and local emergency communications systems, emergency personnel, public safety organizations, telecommunications carriers, and telecommunications equipment manufacturers and vendors involved in the implementation of E-911 services; and
• (B) Create an E-911 Implementation Coordination Office to implement the provisions of this section.”

31
Division Efforts Underway (Cont’d)Federal Narrowbanding
• In 1992, the Congress required the NTIA to adopt and implement a plan for Federal agencies with existing mobile radio systems to use more spectrum-efficient technologies.
• NTIA, through the IRAC, directed a reconfiguration of Federal spectrum to reduce channel size through the use of narrowband technologies, looking to respond to both existing and future requirements for voice and low-speed data transmissions.
• Three bands were made subject to narrowbanding, each with deadlines for Federal Government agencies to migrate from 25 kHz channels to 12.5 kHz narrowband channels:
![Page 31: NTIA Presentation to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815fbd550346895dceb917/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
32
Division Efforts Underway (Cont’d) Narrowbanding
• Frequency Bands162-174 MHz: January 1, 1995 (new systems), January 1, 2005 (all
systems)406.1-420 MHz: January 1, 1997 (new), January 1, 2008(all)138-150.800 MHz: January 1, 1995 (new) January 1, 2008 (all)
• As of January 1, 2005, seven of fifty-four Federal entities were 100‑percent compliant with the 2005 mandate for the 162-174 MHz band. Twenty-four agencies had reached at least 50-percent compliance, with five of these more than 60-percent compliant.
• The narrowbanding transition is progressing as a viable means of providing additional channels for voice and low-speed data applications without hampering current operational requirements.
![Page 32: NTIA Presentation to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815fbd550346895dceb917/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
33
Division Efforts Underway (Cont’d) Interoperability
• NTIA has set aside 40 narrowband channels within the 162-174 MHz and 406.1-420 MHz bands for interoperable communications among Federal, State and local agencies for law enforcement and incident response operations.
• IRAC is considering rules proposed by Ad Hoc 214 to make licensing of these frequencies easier.
• NTIA continues to work with DHS SAFECOM and Federal agencies to foster interoperability among Federal, State and local jurisdictions.
![Page 33: NTIA Presentation to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815fbd550346895dceb917/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
34
Division Efforts Underway (Cont’d) President’s Spectrum Policy Initiative
• In May 2003, the President established the Spectrum Policy Initiative: to promote the development and implementation of a U.S. spectrum management policy for the 21st century that will foster economic growth; to promote our national and homeland security; to maintain U.S. global leadership in communications technology; and to satisfy other vital U.S. needs including public safety.
• In June 2004, the Secretary of Commerce issued recommendations that were included in a two-part series of reports.
• In November 2004, the President directed Federal agencies to implement the recommendations from the two reports. NTIA forwarded an implementation plan to the White House earlier this year.
![Page 34: NTIA Presentation to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815fbd550346895dceb917/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
35
President’s Spectrum Policy Initiative (Cont’d)• Of interest to the public safety community is a number of
recommendations from Report 2 to be carried out by DHS (SAFECOM) and NTIA. Specifically, NTIA will:
• examine the feasibility of sharing spectrum among commercial, Federal and local public safety and critical infrastructure applications, including the possibility of leasing services
• develop and implement one or more demonstration programs to test the operational and cost effectiveness of sharing spectrum and communications infrastructure between Federal, State, and/or local governments and private users
