Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, Inc.

    Notice is hereby given that, on September 1, 2020, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, 
Inc. (``DSA'') has filed written notifications simultaneously with the 
Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the 
identities of the parties to the venture and (2) the nature and 
objectives of the venture. The notifications were filed for the purpose 
of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust 
plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances.
    Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties 
to the venture are: Broadcom Corporation, San Jose, CA; Federated 
Wireless, Inc., Arlington, VA; Gigabit Libraries Network, Sausalito, 
CA; Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, Santa Clara, CA; 
Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA; and New America, Palo Alto, CA.
    The general area of DSA's planned activity is to (a) promote the 
adoption of laws and regulations that increase dynamic access to unused 
radio spectrum (``Spectrum''); (b) support efforts to gain a better 
understanding of Spectrum use around the world; (c) be technology-
neutral and support regulations allowing for the coexistence of a 
variety of technology platforms; (d) support making unused Spectrum 
available for dynamic Spectrum access in licensed, license-exempt 
(unlicensed), and lightly licensed Spectrum bands; (e) support dynamic 
Spectrum access across a variety of complementary Spectrum bands; (f) 
support the use of geolocation databases and other interference 
protection mechanisms; (g) support globally harmonized dynamic access 
to unused Spectrum; (h) support long-term efforts to develop 
regulations making dynamic Spectrum access the default mode of access 
to radio spectrum, with technical rules that address legitimate 
interference concerns; and (i) undertake such other activities as may 
from time to time be appropriate to further the purposes and achieve 
the goals set forth above.
