To codify the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences and to direct the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to establish an initiative to support the development of emergency communication and tracking technologies, and for other purposes.
Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill creates codifies the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) as the federal government primary laboratory for spectrum research, authorizes public-private partnerships, and establishes an emergency communication, establishes ITS as the primary federal laboratory for spectrum research, authorizes agreements with private sector under multiple legal authorities, and creates an emergency communication initiative for locating trapped, and requires codifies the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences as the federal spectrum research laboratory and authorizes agreements supporting spectrum sharing, interference testing, and emergency communication. It relies on compliance mandates, procurement rules, definition changes, and grants. The main policy areas are Telecommunications, Technology, Science & Space, and Criminal Justice.
Who Benefits and How
Telecommunications and wireless technology companies using federal spectrum research could gain revenue opportunities, Satellite and spectrum-sharing technology developers could gain revenue opportunities, and Emergency responders and mining operations needing shielded-environment communications could face reduced risk.
Who Bears the Burden and How
NTIA Institute for Telecommunication Sciences and Commerce Department staff would take on compliance duties and National Telecommunications and Information Administration would take on compliance duties.
