WASHINGTON –Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) has introduced the Government Spectrum Valuation Act, legislation that would require the federal government to estimate the value of electromagnetic spectrum currently assigned to federal agencies, as well as a bill to audit the government spectrum and report which bands are being used by which agency.

“Congress has a clear responsibility to ensure that federal spectrum is being managed effectively and appropriately,” Sen. Lee said. “By calculating the value of federal spectrum allocations, as well as auditing how they are used, Congress and the Trump Administration will be better equipped to identify highly valuable federal spectrum bands, and thus manage each federal spectrum allocation more efficiently.”
