SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Committee provides advice to 
the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information on needed 
reforms to domestic spectrum policies and management in order to: 
License radio frequencies in a way that maximizes their public 
benefits; keep wireless networks as open to innovation as possible; and 
make wireless services available to all Americans. See Charter at 
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/csmac_2015_charter_renewal_2-26-15.pdf.

    Matters To Be Considered: The Committee provides advice to the 
Assistant Secretary to assist in developing and maintaining spectrum 
management policies that enable the United States to maintain or 
strengthen its global leadership role in the introduction of

technologies and supporting the country's homeland security, national 
defense, and other critical government needs. The Committee will hear
