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

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

international markets. The Department 

of Commerce seeks high level
