Agencies with NPSPAC 866-869 frequencies will hove those frequencies 
moved down 15 MHz to the 851-854 range, which is the new NPSPAC band. 
The negotiation process is scheduled to begin in Ohio, Michigan, 
Northern PA and northwestern NY (also southern TX, southern CA, NM and 
WA) around June 2006; those areas are part of "Wave 4" because they are 
border areas and certain treaty issues must be worked out with Canada 
and Mexico.
