On November 20, 2020, the Commission released the 5.9 GHz First Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and Order of Proposed Modification, which adopted new rules for the 5.9 GHz band.1 The Report and Order (5.9 GHz First R&O) made spectrum available for unlicensed uses by designating the lower 45 megahertz of the band (5.850-5.895 GHz) for unlicensed operations while continuing to dedicate the upper 30 megahertz (5.895-5.925 GHz) for intelligent transportation systems (ITS).2 The 5.9 GHz First R&O said the Commission would permit existing and future Part 90 ITS li

NTIA submits the attached letter from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for inclusion in the above-captioned docket involving a waiver request by Ericsson to enable multiband devices for the 3.45 GHz and 3.7 GHz services. NTIA supports the FAA withdrawal of its concerns regarding the waiver, specifically in terms of out-of-band emissions into the 4.2-4.4 GHz band.

NTIA, on behalf of the Executive Branch and consistent with its responsibility to ensure that the views of the Executive Branch are effectively presented to the Commission, provides these comments in response to the Notice of Inquiry (NOI). There are a variety of federal uses of 12.7-13.25 GHz and adjacent bands, as well as commercial uses that are important to federal missions. NTIA, therefore, is concerned about the potential for harmful in-band and adjacent-band interference if the 12.7-13.25 GHz band (12.7 GHz band) is repurposed as contemplated in the NOI.

NTIA Comments on behalf of the Executive Branch in response to the FCC Notice of Inquiry (NOI) regarding in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) operations.

NTIA letter to FCC which provides notice that sufficient analysis has been done such that NTIA would have no objection to the Commission proceeding with the adoption of proposed rules for short-range radars in the 60 GHz band.

NTIA submitted comments in the FCC Notice of Inquiry on "Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum through Improved Receiver Interference Immunity Performance."

The security of communications is a vital concern, and NTIA appreciates the undertaking by the Commission to solicit public comments on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security vulnerabilities. Malicious BGP activity as well as inadvertent BGP anomalies are tremendously detrimental. To address these security vulnerabilities, NTIA has several suggestions for the Commission.
