Meeting of the Multistakeholder Forum for the National Spectrum 
Strategy Band Studies

AGENCY: National Telecommunications and Information Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of open meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces a public meeting for providing input to 
spectrum band studies directed by the National Spectrum Strategy and 
National Spectrum Strategy Implementation Plan, which instructed the 
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to 
establish a multistakeholder forum for non-Federal stakeholders to 
engage with the Federal agencies conducting the studies. This is the 
first of what NTIA expects will be a series of public multistakeholder 
meetings held approximately every other month.
    In this meeting, the objectives, processes, timelines, and 
deliverables for obtaining input from the public will be discussed, 
with particular focus on the study of the 3.1-3.45 GHz and 7.125-8.4 
GHz bands. In this meeting and in future meetings, NTIA will solicit 
targeted information from the public, including industry and academia, 
on spectrum use cases, coexistence scenarios, existing technology 
solutions, and technical inputs.

DATES: The meeting will be held on August 23, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 
Noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST).

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Herbert C. Hoover Federal 
Building Auditorium, Washington, DC. Use the entrance on 14th Street 
NW, between Constitution Ave. and Pennsylvania Ave.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The White House issued the 
National Spectrum Strategy on November 13, 2023, laying out a blueprint 
for American innovation, competition, and security in advanced wireless 
technologies. See National Spectrum Strategy at https://www.ntia.gov/sites/default/files/publications/national_spectrum_strategy_final.pdf. 
The National Spectrum Strategy directed detailed studies of certain 
spectrum bands to determine whether they may be repurposed for expanded 
or more efficient uses. To that end, NTIA and other Federal agencies 
are engaging in studies of the 3.1-3.45 GHz, the 7.125-8.4 GHz, and 
other spectrum bands. This series of meetings will ensure that the 
public can provide input to the spectrum band studies.
    Matters To Be Considered: The planned meeting for August 23, 2024, 
will include discussion of the objectives, processes, timelines, and 
deliverables for obtaining input from the public.
    Time and Date: The meeting will be held on August 23, 2024, from 
10:00 a.m. to Noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST). The meeting time and
