FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Public Safety Wireless Advisory Committee; Procedures for
Contacts
AGENCIES: The National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary for
Communications and Information, and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), Reed E. Hundt, Chairman.
ACTION: Notice of Establishment of Procedures for Oral or Written
Contacts with the Chairman of the Public Safety Wireless Advisory
Committee (PSWAC) or with any of its members.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------.
SUMMARY: The NTIA and the FCC have established a Public Safety Wireless
Advisory Committee to prepare a final report to advise the NTIA and the
FCC on operational, technical and spectrum requirements of federal,
state and local Public Safety entities through the year 2010. The
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended, requires
public notice of all meetings of the PSWAC. This is to assure full
public participation in the discussion of all matters of substance
before the PSWAC.
We wish to assure that all contacts regarding the merits or
substance of any PSWAC consideration which occur outside the scope of
formal meetings are a matter of record. Therefore, the PSWAC will
require that any person or entity that makes an oral or written
presentation to the Chairman of the PSWAC (Philip L. Verveer) or any of
the members of the PSWAC (Louis J. Freeh, Ronald K. Noble, Alan D.
Bersin, William Bratton, Michael Freeman, Steven Proctor, Dennis C.
Connors, and Fred Kuznik) must provide a document which summarizes that
presentation. In the case of an oral communication, the document must
be a memorandum reflecting who initiated the contact, which PSWAC
officials were involved, and the substance of the conversation. In the
case of a written contact, the document must be a copy of the letter or
pleading constituting the written contact. The document must be
labelled WTB-1.
DATES: This requirement is effective immediately.
ADDRESSES: Documents provided to the PSWAC for the public file should
be sent to: John J. Borkowski, Designated Federal Official, Public
Safety Wireless Advisory Committee, Private Wireless Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20554.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All submissions concerning such contacts
will be available for public inspection in a file designated WTB-1
maintained in the Private Wireless Division of the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, in Room
8010, 2025 M Street NW.
