SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CSMAC was first chartered in 2005 under 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, to carry 
out the functions of the National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration Act, 47 U.S.C. 904(b). The CSMAC advises the Assistant 
Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information on a broad 
range of issues regarding spectrum policy.
    The Secretary of Commerce appoints members to the CSMAC for two 
year terms. They are experts in radio spectrum policy, and do not 
represent any organization or interest, and serve in the capacity of 
Special Government Employees. Members do not receive compensation or 
reimbursement for travel or for per diem expenses. Members may not be 
federally registered lobbyists. Previously, the charter allowed CSMAC 
to have up to 20 members. The renewed charter, effective April 6, 2009, 
allows up to 25 members to serve on the CSMAC.
    On December 7, 2010, NTIA published a Notice in the Federal 
Register seeking additional persons interested in appointment, with 
applications due January 10, 2011
