FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Safety Wireless Advisory Committee; Procedures for 
Contacts

AGENCIES: The National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration (NTIA), Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary for 
Communications and Information, and the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC), Reed E. Hundt, Chairman.

ACTION: Notice of Establishment of Procedures for Oral or Written 
Contacts with the Chairman of the Public Safety Wireless Advisory 
Committee (PSWAC) or with any of its members.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------.


SUMMARY: The NTIA and the FCC have established a Public Safety Wireless 
Advisory Committee to prepare a final report to advise the NTIA and the 
FCC on operational, technical and spectrum requirements of federal, 
state and local Public Safety entities through the year 2010. The 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended, requires 
public notice of all meetings of the PSWAC. This is to assure full 
public participation in the discussion of all matters of substance 
before the PSWAC.
    We wish to assure that all contacts regarding the merits or 
substance of any PSWAC consideration which occur outside the scope of 
formal meetings are a matter of record. Therefore, the PSWAC will 
require that any person or entity that makes an oral or written 
presentation to the Chairman of the PSWAC (Philip L. Verveer) or any of 
the members of the PSWAC (Louis J. Freeh, Ronald K. Noble, Alan D. 
Bersin, William Bratton, Michael Freeman, Steven Proctor, Dennis C. 
Connors, and Fred Kuznik) must provide a document which summarizes that 
presentation. In the case of an oral communication, the document must 
be a memorandum reflecting who initiated the contact, which PSWAC 
officials were involved, and the substance of the conversation. In the 
case of a written contact, the document must be a copy of the letter or 
pleading constituting the written contact. The document must be 
labelled WTB-1.

DATES: This requirement is effective immediately.

ADDRESSES: Documents provided to the PSWAC for the public file should 
be sent to: John J. Borkowski, Designated Federal Official, Public 
Safety Wireless Advisory Committee, Private Wireless Division, Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 
Washington, D.C. 20554.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All submissions concerning such contacts 
will be available for public inspection in a file designated WTB-1 
maintained in the Private Wireless Division of the Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, in Room 
8010, 2025 M Street NW.
