Guidance on spending $1 billion in interoperability funds set aside by the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act appears in a bill (S- 385) introduced late Wed. by the Senate Commerce Committee. The bill would guide NTIA on awarding emergency communications grants to police, fire fighters and emergency medical crews. It keeps a Sept. 30 deadline for distributing the grants set in motion by last year抯 Call Home Act. The bill would require grants to meet guidelines under the Safecom, an emergency communications program in the Dept. of Homeland Security on interoperability.
