SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NTIA 

serves as the president’s principal 

advisor on telecommunications policies 

pertaining to the nation’s economic and 

technological advancement and 

establishes policies concerning use of 

the radio-frequency spectrum by federal 

agencies. See 47 U.S.C. 902(b)(2). NTIA 

is hosting an online symposium that 

will focus on developing, implementing 

and maintaining sustainable, national 

spectrum policies and spectrum 

management techniques. These will 

enable the United States to strengthen 

its global leadership role in the 

introduction of wireless 

telecommunications technology, 

services, and innovation, while also 

supporting the expansion of existing 

technologies and the nation’s homeland 

security, national defense, and other 

critical government missions. 

Speakers from the Department of 

Commerce and Congress have been 

invited to provide pre-recorded keynote 

remarks. Panelists are expected to 

include participants from the Federal 

Communications Commission, other 

federal agencies, and private sector and 

other non-government organizations. In 

the afternoon, NTIA’s research 

laboratory, the Institute for 

Telecommunication Sciences, will host 

a preview of the 2022 International 

Symposium on Advanced Radio 

Technologies (ISART). The discussion 

will focus on areas where data could 

significantly benefit NTIA spectrum 

sharing feasibility analyses, with a goal 

for ISART 2022 to chart a roadmap and 

consensus for data-driven ways to 

expedite spectrum-sharing analyses and 

decision-making. Prior to the 

symposium event, NTIA will post 

detailed program information on its 

website: www.ntia.gov. 

The symposium is open to the public 

and members of the press to view 

through a webcast available on the 

NTIA website. While it is not required, 

NTIA asks that online attendees provide

event. This information will include
