SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 1, 2008 NTIA published a notice in 
the Federal Register seeking persons interested in serving on the CSMAC 
for new two year terms to commence in December 2008, with applications 
due no later than September 2, 2008. (73 Fed. Reg. 44972 (Aug. 1, 
2008), available at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/pdf/E8-17693.pdf.). The CSMAC provides advice to the Assistant Secretary for 
Communications and Information and NTIA Administrator on spectrum 
management matters.
    This notice reopens the application period in order to provide the 
public with an additional opportunity to submit applications. Any 
applicant who provided NTIA with the requested materials prior to this 
current notice and before the new due date will be considered for 
membership and need not resubmit materials. As before, current members 
of the CSMAC are not required to submit applications in order to be 
reappointed; however, reappointments are not automatic.
    Members of the CSMAC are experts in radio spectrum policy and do 
not represent any organization or interest. They serve on the CSMAC in 
the capacity of Special Government Employees. They do not receive 
compensation or reimbursement for travel or for per diem expenses.
    The CSMAC's charter allows it to have up to 20 members. 
Appointments are for two-year terms, subject to continuation of the 
CSMAC under its charter. NTIA intends to seek renewal of the current 
charter, which expires March 27, 2009.
    The evaluation criteria for selecting members contained in the 
August 1, 2008 notice shall continue to apply. The Secretary of 
Commerce will appoint members with a broad cross-section of points of 
views from the private and non-federal government sectors. The 
Department of Commerce seeks high level individuals with expertise in 
those sectors and interests on spectrum policy issues relevant to the 
CSMAC.
    Applications should include a resume or curriculum vita and should 
also include a statement summarizing the qualifications of the 
applicant and identifying any particular expertise or area of interest 
relevant to the CSMAC's work.

    Dated: September 5, 2008.
Kathy D. Smith,
Chief Counsel, National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration.
