SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 29, 2004, the President 

issued a Memorandum to the Heads of 

Executive Departments and Agencies on 

the subject of ‘‘Spectrum Management 

for the 21st Century.’’1 Among other 

things, the Executive Memorandum 

directed the heads of the executive 

departments and agencies to implement 

the recommendations contained in two 

Commerce Department reports to the 

President identifying improvement in 

U.S. spectrum management.2 The first 

recommendation in Report 2 called for 

the establishment of a federal advisory 

committee within the National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration (NTIA).3

Pursuant to the Executive 

Memorandum, the Secretary of 

Commerce established the Spectrum 

Management Advisory Committee under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, consistent 

with the National Telecommunications 

and Information Administration Act, 47 

U.S.C. § 904(b). The Committee will 

report to the Assistant Secretary for 

Communications and Information. It 

will advise the Assistant Secretary on a 

broad range of issues regarding 

spectrum policy and on needed reforms 

to domestic spectrum policies and 

management to enable timely 

implementation of evolving spectrumdependent technologies and services to 

benefit the public. The Committee will 

function solely as an advisory body in 

compliance with the FACA. The 

Committee’s Charter appears on NTIA’s 

website at http://www.ntia.doc.gov. 

The Secretary of Commerce intends to 

appoint representatives from a balanced 

cross-section of stakeholder interests in 

spectrum management and policy 

reform, including non-federal 

government users, state, regional and 

local sectors, technology developers, 

and manufacturers, academia, consumer 

groups, and service providers with 

customers in both domestic and 

international markets. The Department 

of Commerce seeks high level 

individuals with broad expertise in and 

capable of representing those sectors 

and interests on policy issues relevant 

to the Committee. Members will be 

appointed for a two-year term and may 

be reappointed for additional terms. 

Members of the Committee will be 

appointed as Special Government 

Employees and will serve without 

compensation. 

Nominations should include a resume 

or curriculum vita, and should also 

include a statement summarizing the 

qualifications of the nominee and 

identifying the sector or interest (if 

individual) for which the nominee has 

expertise.
