Abstract: This report is an update of a previous report of the same title published by the former Office of Telecommunications Policy. It provides guidance to Federal system planners in securing spectrum support for proposed new or modified telecommunications systems in compliance with procedures of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). These procedures are in response to an Office of Management and Budget Circular (OMB Circular No. A-11) requiring certification from NTIA of spectrum support prior to submission of budget estimates to OMB. This report summarizes the various steps involved in the process, suggests questions each agency should address in preparation for submission and provides example output.

Keywords: electromagnetic compatibility (EMC); spectrum management; frequency availability; Life Cycle; NTIA System Review Process; Spectrum Planning Subcommittee
