A bill to require the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to audit Federal spectrum.
S 794 requires the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information to conduct a comprehensive audit of all federal spectrum (radio frequencies used for communications) assigned to government agencies within 18 months of the bill's enactment. The audit will inventory each spectrum band's specific use, purpose, geographic location, sharing status (with other agencies or private entities), and unused portions across all federal agencies. The resulting report, submitted to Congress, must detail these findings in plain terms, including any spectrum not actively used. This bill directly affects all federal agencies that operate with spectrum licenses but does not alter current spectrum allocation policies.
