Abstract: The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law No. 111-5 instructs the Commission to develop a National Broadband Plan. The purpose of this collection is to enable citizens to voluntarily provide feedback on their experience with the Spectrum Database being developed by the Commission to facilitate the deployment of wireless broadband throughout the nation. this collection will provide the FCC with unique data on how stakeholders are using the Spectrum Database and what improvements or enhancements they would like to see in future versions of the database.

Emergency Justfication: As part of the Broadband Plan, the FCC has created the Spectrum Dashboard, a database of the frequency bands from 225 MHz - 3.7 GHz available for non-federal uses, including for broadband deployment across the nation. It will provide transparency and readilly available to interested stakeholders (e.g., service providers, manufacturers, innovators, and investors) to better enable them to gain access to spectrum and to help them help the Commission in our spectrum policy decisions. The increased accessibility to spectrum and licensing information made possible by the Spectrum Dashboard is particularly valuable at this time as multiple stakeholders search for ways to participate in the deployment of wireless broadband throughout the nation.
