SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Overview. This notice is issued on behalf of the NITRD WSRD IWG. 
Agencies of the WSRD IWG are conducting a workshop as a follow-up to 
the recent Request for Information (RFI) on the National Spectrum 
Research and Development Plan in which the NITRD NCO sought public 
input for the creation of the National Spectrum R&D Plan. The R&D Plan 
will act as an organizing national document, providing guidance for 
government investments in spectrum-related research and offering 
valuable insights. The Plan will identify key innovation areas for 
spectrum research and development and will include a process to refine 
and enhance these areas on an ongoing basis.
    Workshop Objectives. This workshop will provide an opportunity for 
the RFI respondents and others from academia, industry, and the public 
to engage in open dialog with the spectrum community and WSRD IWG 
authors on the potential content of the National Spectrum R&D Plan.
