Each of the Region 2 Public Safety Planning Committee meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public safety providers in Alaska whose sole or principal purpose is to protect the safety of life, health, or property may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that not only public safety, but all government, Native American Tribal, and non-governmental organizations eligible under Section 90.523 of the Commission’s Rules be represented in order to ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allocation process.  Administrators who are not oriented in the communications field should delegate someone with this knowledge to attend, participate and represent their agency’s needs.

All interested parties wishing to participate in the planning for the use of new public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz band within Region 2 should plan to attend. Region 2 welcomes all interested parties to attend, participate and volunteer for committee assignments. For further information on any of the Region 2 planning meetings, please contact:
