The NPSTC Spectrum Management Committee was formed to focus its activities on the furtherance of public safety communications by utilizing Spectrum Management policy and techniques can provide the first responder community with a more effective and efficient communications product. The NPSTC Spectrum Management Committee currently oversees the activities of the following Working Groups:
