Abstract: The National Telecommunications and Information Administration hosts a web-based system that collects specific identification information from applicants seeking authorization by the Federal Communications Commission to operate in radio frequency bands that are shared on a co-primary basis by federal and non-federal users. The web-based system provides a means for non-federal applicants to rapidly determine the availability of spectrum in a specific location, or the need for detailed frequency coordination of a specific newly proposed assignment within the shared portions of the radio frequency spectrum.
