On September 21, 2015, the FCC released Public Notices requesting comments on two Regional Planning Committee (RPC) proposals to incorporate the six former 700 MHz reserve channels designated for deployable trunked systems into their regional plans.  These six channels were previously recommended by NPSTC and the NRPC, and subsequently approved by the FCC, for deployable trunked system use.  RPCs have until October 30 to amend their regional plans. Both Region 5 in southern California and Region 20 in the DC/Maryland/Northern Virginia submitted requests for FCC approval of proposed amendments to their respective regional plans. Comments are due by October 21, 2015.  In seeking comments, the FCC advised that it has tentatively accepted the plan amendments and that the amendments will be approved without further action if no objections are raised during the comment period.

Following are the links for the Public Notices.
