Trump Spectrum Strategy Won't Be Ready Before July Meeting, CSMAC Told

NTIA officials warned Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee leaders that the Trump administration’s long-awaited spectrum strategy (see 1907310033) won’t be ready before the group meets in July, CSMAC members confirmed Tuesday. The delay complicated the work of CSMAC’s Spectrum Strategy Governance Subcommittee, which is developing a report on potential major changes to federal oversight of spectrum, expected to be presented at the meeting (see [Ref:2004220059). The subcommittee was originally charged with working from the strategy to develop the report, CSMAC members said. NTIA didn’t comment. The exact date of the meeting hasn’t been set, but it’s expected to be virtual, CSMAC members said. The strategy has been in the works since October 2018. Last July was the original deadline for completing the document.
