REGION 6 NPSPAC MEETING; VERY IMPORTANT!
There will be a very important meeting of the NPSPAC Review and Revision Committee immediately following the regular Frequency Advisors meeting. We have several important issues to discuss relative to requests we are holding for counties and agencies in the SF Bay Area. These are held pending a decision of the Committee on the present wording in the Plan and the need to expedite requests for assignment of the Inter-Op Channels. I have just received word that Samuel Williams at OES is no longer representing that agency I have requested George Lowry and/or others to be present to explain their role. Please review both the NPSPAC Plan and the CLEMARS Plan prior to attending.!

What is Public Safety
Region 6?
|
|
|
During the late 1980s the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) developed a National Plan for Public
Safety Radio Services, setting national guidelines for
use of the 821-824/866-869 MHz (800 MHz) spectrum while
establishing fifty-five regional planning committees to
develop public safety regional plans tailored to the
particular communications needs of the area.
Region 6 encompasses the 48 counties of California
situated north of the northernmost borders of San Luis
Obispo, Kern and San Bernardino counties.
The 800 MHz Northern California (Region
6) Plan was adopted by the FCC on November 20, 1990. The
800 MHz Plan was last revised on October 10, 2001.
In 1998, the FCC adopted service rules
for the 24 megahertz of spectrum in the 764-776/794-806
MHz frequency bands (collectively, the 700 MHz band). At
the direction of Congress, this spectrum was reallocated
from television broadcast services to public safety
communications services. It will be available as soon as
existing TV stations vacate the spectrum, which is
targeted for no later than December 31, 2006.
A large portion of the 700 MHz public
safety spectrum (12.5 MHz), is designated for general use
by local, regional and state users. A regional planning
process was adopted to govern management of this public
safety spectrum. It is a similar process to that used in
the 821-824 MHz and 866-869 MHz bands. The Regional
Planning Committees (RPCs) are allowed maximum
flexibility to meet state and local needs, encourage
innovative use of the spectrum, and accommodate new and
as yet unanticipated developments in technology
equipment. They are responsible for creating and managing
regional plans.
