The Federal Government Spectrum Inventory Act requires the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to produce an annual "Federal Government Spectrum Use Report." This report, to be issued within 180 days of enactment and annually thereafter, will provide a comprehensive overview of how federal agencies utilize specific radio frequency bands. The mandated report must focus on frequencies ranging from 225 megahertz to 50 gigahertz . Key components of the report include a summary of federal spectrum usage, an excerpt from the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, and a table detailing the number and types of frequency assignments authorized by NTIA. Additionally, the report will summarize major systems and applications operating within each frequency band or sub-band, alongside descriptions of any applicable future uses. While the main report will be made publicly available on the NTIA's website, it will also include a classified annex to protect sensitive information.
