We direct RPCs for non-border National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee (NPSPAC)

regions1 to file amendments to their 800 MHz regional plans by April 13, 2009 to bring them into

conformity with the new 800 MHz band plan. These plan amendments will be subject to streamlined

filing and approval procedures provided that they are limited to changes in frequency listings based on the

new band plan. Alternatively, RPCs may elect to file amended regional plans by June 10, 2009 that

combine rebanding-related changes with other modifications that are not rebanding-related, provided that

they notify the Bureau by April 13, 2009 of their intent to do so. Amended plans that include substantive

modifications not related to rebanding will be subject to standard public notice and approval procedures.
