US delegations will use the proposals at bilateral, regional and international meetings. One agenda item involves examining the adequacy of the frequency allocations for HF broadcasting in the vicinity of 4-10 MHz. Complete texts of draft proposals are available via the FCC's WRC-03 Web site. Comments may be filed via e-mail to wrc03@fcc.gov. Commenters also may submit an original and one copy of comments to the Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554. Comments should refer to specific proposals by document number. The deadline for comments is January 31. NNNN /EX
