the ,assistant ,secretary1 in consultation with the ,commission1 shall propose1 after notice and opportunity for comment1 an integrated spectrum automation enterprise strategy to address the management of covered electromagnetic spectrum in order to facilitate the sharing of such spectrum by more than one ,federal entity4 7#b7 ,matters encompassed ,in developing the strategy under paragraph 7#a71 the ,assistant ,secretary shall consider1 at a minimum1 whether to propose-- 7,a7 changes in policy or to the law1 including legislative and regulatory changes2 and 7,b7 using-- 7i7 databases2 7ii7 artificial intelligence2 7iii7 spectrum management processes2 7iv7 public-facing application programming interfaces and online tools2 7v7 automatic frequency coordination systems2 7vi7 spectrum enforcement requirements2 7vii7 listen-before-talk2 7viii7 environmental sensing capabilities2 and 7ix7 electromagnetic spectrum compatibility analyses4 7#c7 ,establishment of sharing test bed ,not later than #ae months after the date of the enactment of the ,studying ,how to ,harness ,airwave ,resources ,efficiently ,act of #bjai1 the ,assistant ,secretary1 in consultation with the ,commission1 shall1 as part of the strategy proposed under paragraph 7#a71 establish at least one test bed to demonstrate the potential for automated technologies to facilitate the sharing of the same covered electromagnetic spectrum by more than one ,federal entity4 7#d7 ,updates to strategy ,not later than #a year after the strategy under paragraph 7#a7 is proposed1 and annually thereafter1 the ,assistant ,secretary shall update such strategy4 7c7 ,report ,not later than #ah months after the date of the enactment of the ,studying ,how to ,harness ,airwave ,resources ,efficiently ,act of #bjai1 and annually thereafter1 the ,assistant ,secretary1 in consultation with the ,commission1 shall submit to the ,committee on ,energy and ,commerce of the ,house of ,representatives and the ,committee on ,commerce1 ,science1 and ,transportation of the ,senate a report containing-- 7#a7 the results of the program established under subsection 7a72 and 7#b7 the strategy proposed under subsection 7b77#a7 with respect to the first report submitted under this subsection and updates to the strategy proposed under such subsection with respect to reports submitted thereafter4 7d7 ,authorization of appropriations ,there is authorized to be appropriated to the ,assistant ,secretary to carry out this section #ej1jjj1jjj for fiscal year #bjbj4 ,such amounts are authorized to remain available until expended4 7e7 ,definitions ,in this section3 7#a7 ,covered electromagnetic spectrum ,the term covered electromagnetic spectrum means electromagnetic spectrum allocated for exclusive or primary use by ,federal entities4 7#b7 ,federal entity ,the term ,federal entity has the meaning given such term in section #aac7l74 4 #c4 ,federal ,communications ,commission report on expanding spectrum sharing techniques 7a7 ,report ,not later than #ab months after the first assignment of ,priority ,access ,licenses through the system of competitive bidding1 after an opportunity for notice and comment1 the ,federal ,communications ,commission shall submit to the ,committee on ,energy and ,commerce of the ,house of ,representatives and the ,committee on ,commerce1 ,science1 and ,transportation of the ,senate a report that assesses and provides recommendations for expanding upon and improving spectrum sharing techniques developed for use in the #c4e gigahertz band and that includes the following considerations3 7#a7 ,how to promote an ecosystem of devices employing such sharing techniques4 7#b7 ,how to ensure that any ,federal protection zones and corresponding technical rules and power levels are no more protective than necessary4 7#c7 ,the applicability of such sharing techniques to frequencies between #cajj megahertz and #ceej megahertz1 inclusive1 and frequencies between #gabe megahertz and #hdjj megahertz1 inclusive1 to the extent any portion of such frequencies cannot be cleared in a reasonable amount of time4 7b7 ,rule of construction ,nothing in subsection 7a77#c7 may be construed to require that every spectrum sharing technique developed for use in the #c4e gigahertz band be recommended for use in other bands4
