FCC-NTIA Joint Coordination Procedure Notice on 3.45-3.55 GHz

The Federal Communications Commission’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issued a joint Public Notice to provide information about the cooperative sharing framework for federal and non-federal coordination in certain defined areas where and when federal incumbents require continued access in the 3.45–3.55 GHz band. The notice provides information and guidance on the overall coordination process, as contemplated by the 3.45 GHz Band 2d R&O. This includes informal pre-coordination discussions, the formal process of submitting coordination requests, and receiving results from relevant federal incumbents. The notice also provides a streamlined coordination process for high-power radar sites.
