The American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law No. 111-5 instructs the Commission
to develop a National Broadband Plan. The purpose of this
collection is to enable citizens to voluntarily provide feedback on
their experience with the Spectrum Database being developed by the
Commission to facilitate the deployment of wireless broadband
throughout the nation. this collection will provide the FCC with
unique data on how stakeholders are using the Spectrum Database and
what improvements or enhancements they would like to see in future
versions of the database.
As part of the Broadband
Plan, the FCC has created the Spectrum Dashboard, a database of the
frequency bands from 225 MHz - 3.7 GHz available for non-federal
uses, including for broadband deployment across the nation. It will
provide transparency and readilly available to interested
stakeholders (e.g., service providers, manufacturers, innovators,
and investors) to better enable them to gain access to spectrum and
to help them help the Commission in our spectrum policy decisions.
The increased accessibility to spectrum and licensing information
made possible by the Spectrum Dashboard is particularly valuable at
this time as multiple stakeholders search for ways to participate
in the deployment of wireless broadband throughout the nation.
