NTIA supports updating the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) in order to boost the development of new aviation sectors such as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including piloted and remotely piloted aircraft systems. In doing so, safety of all aviation systems, including emerging ones, must top all concerns.

NTIA wishes to submit into the Commission’s record the attached NTIA Technical Report, An Analysis of Aggregate CBRS SAS Data from April 2021 to July 2024.3 This report builds upon similar work from 20234 and reveals continued growth in the deployment of Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs).

NTIA, consistent with its responsibility to ensure that the views of the Executive Branch on telecommunications matters are effectively presented to the Commission, provides these comments reflecting the views of DAF and DON in response to the above referenced Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

Comments in response to the FCC's properly implemented and narrowly constructed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) reporting requirements as a means of addressing low ROA adoption by select large Broadband Internet Access Service (BIAS) providers while respecting long-standing support for the multistakeholder system of Internet governance.

NTIA expresses its gratitude to the Department of the Navy for its critical role in developing the pioneering Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and for its continuing efforts to ensure that spectrum sharing is a success for all stakeholders.

NTIA asks the FCC to remove from its 3.45 GHz coordination rules the so-called “Cooperative Planning Area” (CPA) for Norfolk, Virginia due to the Department of Defense’s conclusion that the CPA is unnecessary.

NTIA, NASA, and NOAA file comments supporting the FCC’s proposal to harmonize domestic 24 GHz out-of-band emission (OOBE) limits with those adopted at the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19). The new rules would protect the use of federal satellites monitoring hurricane, tornado, and climate activity to develop accurate and timely severe weather forecasts – while still permitting deployment of new and innovative commercial wireless services.

NTIA identifies remaining issues in proposed rules for the 70/80/90 GHz band.

On December 21, 2023, NTIA met virtually with Federal Communications Commission staff to discuss the Section 706 Report Notice of Inquiry.
