4 Legislative directive 700 MHz D Block spectrum will be reallocated to public safety The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) will be established by National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) FirstNet is required to establish a nationwide public safety broadband network to be based on a single, national network architecture The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will reallocate and grant a license for the use of the 700 MHz D block spectrum and existing public safety broadband spectrum to FirstNet 4

5 FirstNet arter FirstNet is congressionally mandated to establish a nationwide wireless broadband network that enables police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and other first responders to effectively communicate with one another during emergencies and to use new technology to improve response time, keep communities safe, and save lives. Established as an independent authority within NTIA Headed by a Board Holds the single public safety 700 MHz wireless broadband license Takes all actions necessary to ensure the building, deployment, and operations of the nationwide public safety broadband network, in consultation with Federal, State, tribal, and local public safety entities, Director of NIST, the Commission, and public safety advisory committee Ensures deployment phases with substantial rural coverage milestones 5

Director of NIST, in consultation with the First Responder Network Authority and the public safety advisory committee established under section 6205(a), shall..accelerate the development of mission critical voice, including device- to- device talkaround capability over broadband networks, public safety prioritization, authentication capabilities, and standard application programing interfaces for the nationwide public safety broadband network, if necessary and practical; 8
