Deploy, maintain, and operate the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) - a mission critical, prioritized, nationwide interoperable broadband network for first responders throughout the nation, with adoption by firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, and other public safety personnel.

Transition Federal users from the 1755-1780 band in a timely manner in order to facilitate access for commercial wireless services (e.g., 5G), which provide great benefit to our Nation’s economy and quality of life.

Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum, NTIA will modernize the current spectrum access ecosystem by: 1) Documenting current spectrum use and future requirements 2) Establishing the data and tools needed to automate spectrum management functions and securely make them as transparent and predictable as practicable 3) Updating spectrum access policies to provide greater flexibility and incentivize efficiency 4) Enhancing spectrum enforcement mechanisms 5) Pursuing workforce development initiatives that are critical to long-term success.

By providing broadband technical assistance and support, NTIA will provide the foundation for state and local governments to attract broadband infrastructure investments. Broadband infrastructure leads to the delivery of new jobs, better service delivery, and creation of innovative technologies benefitting hospital, schools, and students

NTIA improves the nation’s understanding of broadband availability by improving data collection and analytic capabilities. NTIA promotes more efficient federal broadband investments, especially in critical rural areas where data does not always accurately reflect broadband availability.

NTIA will receive and approve a 5-Year Broadband Action Plan from each State and Territory (56) as a part of the BEAD program implementation.

Provide broadband technical assistance to unserved and underserved communities to attract new business investments and spur economic growth. Various communities that were unable to receive NTIA assistance during the BTOP grant period can now take advantage of NTIA’s technical expertise during NTIA’s subsequent outreach program, thereby leveraging the expansion of broadband. This performance metric measures the additional communities that NTIA will assist.
