(3) The Federal Aviation Administration, in coordination 
with the Department of Commerce, the Department of Defense, 
and the Department of Homeland Security, established the 
Spectrum Efficient National Surveillance Radar (referred to 
in this section as ‘‘SENSR’’) Program to assess the feasibility 
of consolidating certain long-range, short-range, and weather 
radar systems in order to make available the 1300–1350 mega-
hertz band. 
(4) The SENSR Program received approval and approxi-
mately $71,500,000 from Office of Management and Budget 
on June 2, 2017, to proceed with Phase I of the SENSR Spec-
trum Pipeline Plan, which will focus on requirements and con-
cept development as well as documenting expected costs and 
information for all impacted Federal spectrum systems. 
(b) SENSE
