Government Spectrum Valuation Act

# Government Spectrum Valuation Act Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill requires the government to regularly assess and assign dollar values to the radio frequencies (spectrum) that federal agencies use for communications. Agencies would then be required to report these spectrum values in their annual budgets and financial reports, similar to how they report other assets. **Who it affects:** Federal agencies that use spectrum for operations (like the military, FAA, and weather services) would be required to track and disclose spectrum values.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) would handle the valuation process. **Key provision:** The main requirement is that NTIA periodically estimate spectrum values and agencies must publicly report these values alongside their other financial information. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
