United States International Telecommunications Advisory 
Committee, Radiocommunication Sector, Study Group 1, Ad Hoc Group, 
Basic Automated Spectrum Management System (BASMS) For Developing 
Countries; Meeting Notice

    The Department of State announces that the United States 
International Telecommunications Advisory Committee (ITAC), 
Radiocommunication Sector, Study Group 1 Ad Hoc Group BASMS will meet 
on June 7, 1994, 9:30 am to 12 noon, in room 1412, at the Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC.
    In November 1993, the Radiocommunication Assembly of the 
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approved a resolution 
calling for the rapid development of a computer software for BASMS and 
the necessary training to implement this program in developing 
countries. The purpose of the BASMS program is to give developing 
countries a tool to efficiently and effectively manage the radio 
spectrum and therefore to accelerate the development of wireless 
technology in the country.
    In March 1994, ITU Radiocommunication Study Group 1 approved a 
recommendation on the ``Design Guidelines for a Automated Spectrum 
Management System (BASMS).'' The recommendation describes the software 
and hardware functional requirements that should be used to develop 
BASMS.
    The Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) of the ITU requested 
the U.S. (and other Administrations) to assist the BDT in developing 
BASMS by distributing information about BASMS requirements to 
appropriate private companies that are interested in developing this 
software.
    It is important that (1) the software be developed at minimum cost 
since the BDT has limited resources and (2) that the software be 
developed based on existing X based software to minimize cost and to 
develop the minimum time. The development time should be less than five 
months from the award of the contract.
    Proposals for the development of BASMS should be sent directly to 
the BDT by August 1, 1994. The award of the contract will be held 
within two months of this date.
    U.S. Radiocommunication Study Group 1, Ad Hoc Group BASMS will meet 
on June 7, 1994, to describe the technical specifications for BASMS and 
to answer questions concerning the development of the software. Anyone 
planning to attend the meeting should contact Robert J. Mayher by phone 
at [phone] or by fax at [phone].

    Dated: May 12, 1994.
Warren G. Richards,
Chairman, U.S. ITAC for ITU Radiocommunication Sector.
