activities such as the President’s National Security
Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC)
and the FCC’s Network Reliability and
Interoperability Council (NRC/NRIC) for some time
 In 1999 TIA was named by DOC/NTIA as one of the
Sector Coordinators under Presidential Decision
Directive 63 (PDD-63) for the Information and
Communications Sector (I&C Sector)
2
– PDD-63 was in response to recommendations from the
President’s Committee on Critical Infrastructure Protection
(PCCIP) to have focused activities on CIP.
TIA as a Sector
Coordinator for CIP
 With Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7)
TIA continues in the role of Communications Sector
Coordinator (with CTIA and USTA).

 In addition to the NSTAC for the I&C Sector, another CEOlevel Presidential Advisory Committee, the National
Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), provides
recommendations from a wider cross-sector perspective.
– TIA has participated on NIAC WGs on Cybersecurity, Sector
Partnership Model (SPM), Vulnerability Assessments, Intelligence
Community Coordination
– TIA is supporting current NIAC Working Group on
Chem/Bio/Radiological threats, as the only rep from Communications
Sector

TIA and CIPAC
 On March 24, 2006, DHS announced in the Federal Register
TIA was named to yet another advisory committee, the
Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC)
9
– Collaborative partnership between government and critical
infrastructure and key resource (CI/KR) owners and operators and
their associations.
– The CIPAC will serve as a forum to engage in a broad spectrum of
joint activities to support critical infrastructure protection.
– The activities will include critical infrastructure protection planning,
coordination, implementation, and operational issues, and incident
response, recovery and reconstitution.
– DHS advised that the CIPAC will facilitate more effective coordination
among Federal infrastructure protection programs with infrastructure
protection activities of the private sector and of State, Local, territorial,
and tribal governments.
TIA and CIPAC
 Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC)
– The CIPAC will also support the implementation of the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) and Sector-Specific Plans
(SSPs)
– The Secretary of DHS used his statutory authority to exempt the
CIPAC from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)
requirements.
– A structure to allow industry consensus inputs to DHS on Homeland
Security topics, without the burdens of FACA.
– FOIA and Federal Records Act still apply
– Industry data can be submitted under Protected Critical Infrastructure
Information (PCII) rules

A TIA Commitment to Public Safety
 TIA’s Engineering Committee TR-8 develops standards related to land

mobile radio products and voice and data systems, utilizing
narrowband, and wideband and now broadband technologies,
involving both users and suppliers in its standards deliberation
activities.
TIA is Organizational Partner with the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute (ETSI) in Project MESA, “Mobility for Emergency
and Safety Applications,” for broadband mobile communications
– www.projectmesa.org
– Industry technology Proposals now being addressed; involvement with TR-8, TR45, and TR-34
 TIA has a proven track record of supporting emergency responders,
and has long been a catalyst for the wireless industry to develop and
maintain public safety standards for digital equipment and systems
that assist in the life-saving and response activities of firstresponders at the scene of an emergency or disaster situation.

“Why Can’t We Talk?”
 In its February 2003 Report, “Why Can’t We Talk?”,
the National Task Force on Interoperability (NTFI)
noted the five key reasons for the current
interoperability issues:
–
–
–
–
–
Reason 1:
Reason 2:
Reason 3:
Reason 4:
Reason 5:
Incompatible and Aging Communications Equipment
Limited and Fragmented Funding
Limited and Fragmented Planning
Lack of Coordination and Cooperation
Limited and Fragmented Radio Spectrum
 Lack of standards was not listed as a reason.
17
“Why Can’t We Talk?”
 Reason 1: Incompatible and Aging Communications
Equipment
– TIA has advocated increased funding for Public Safety to replace old
equipment with new, standardized, interoperable, secure, spectrumefficient digital radios
 Reason 2: Limited and Fragmented Funding
– TIA has advocated increased funding for Public Safety to replace old
equipment with new, standardized, interoperable, secure, spectrumefficient digital radios
 Reason 3: Limited and Fragmented Planning
18
– TIA has supported better coordination at the State, Local, and
Federal levels, was a participant in FCC’s PS National Coordination
Committee (NCC), Advisor to NPSTC, SAFECOM, and MoU with
APCO, NASTD, and FED since 1992. Participates in P25 Steering
Committee activities
“Why Can’t We Talk?”
 Reason 4: Lack of Coordination and Cooperation
– TIA has supported better coordination at the State, Local and
Federal levels, was a participant in FCC’s PS National
Coordination Committee (NCC), Advisor to NPSTC, SAFECOM,
and MoU with APCO, NASTD, and FED since 1992.
Participates in P25 Steering Committee activities
 Reason 5: Limited and Fragmented Radio
Spectrum
– TIA has advocated more spectrum for Public Safety, sooner
Digital TV (DTV) Transition to free spectrum, harmonization of
spectrum at global level
