Spectrum Encroachment Working Group. The SEWG worked to identify and
characterize the spectrum issues associated with the Travis AFB
missions. This included identification and evaluation of spectrum
encroachment and interference issues, plus additional topics identified by
the SEWG.
Committee meetings were held throughout the process to ensure the TSS
identified and appropriately addressed local issues. The meetings
conducted are highlighted as follows.
TAC Project Kick‐Off / Meeting # 1 (March 3, 2016). The project
kick‐off meeting was held with the TAC. The purpose of the project
kick‐off meeting was to outline the TSS process and goals, educate all
stakeholders about the TSS and their roles and responsibilities in the
process. A tour of Travis AFB was also conducted.
TAC Meeting # 2 (August 11, 2016). The second TAC meeting
included a review of potential data gaps, a review of initial issues
identified to date, identification of additional compatibility issues, and
an exercise to establish the priority of the compatibility issues
identified.
PC Meeting #1 (August 11, 2016). The first PC meeting was similar to
the kickoff meeting for the TAC. It provided the PC with an overview
of the TSS process, layout of the documents, information on public
involvement opportunities, and a discussion of the preliminary
compatibility issues identified to date.
TAC Meeting # 3 (January 12, 2017). The third TAC meeting was an
in‐depth discussion on how to address the compatibility issues. Prior
to the meeting, a list of preliminary recommendations was developed
for review. Meeting attendees were broken into two groups to go
through each of the preliminary recommendations to review, refine
them, and add new recommendations to the list.

PC Meeting # 2 (January 12, 2017). The second PC meeting was held
to provide an update on the TSS process, an overview of the
compatibility issues identified, and information on preliminary
recommendations and the outcome of the TSS meeting held earlier in
the day.
SEWG Meeting (February 28, 2017). The SEWG meeting was held to
discuss the issues that were identified regarding spectrum
encroachment and use of frequencies for communication both
between Travis AFB and its personnel / aircraft and between the Base
and the local communities (e.g., for emergency management
coordination). The SEWG reviewed the issues and provided
comments on them, and also assisted in developing
recommendations to address the relevant issues.
TAC Meeting # 4 (October 19, 2017). The fourth TAC meeting was
held to present the results of the public review and comment period
and discuss any changes for the Final TSS.
PC Meeting # 3 (May 10, 2018). The third PC meeting was held to
present the Final TSS Report. The final report was prepared with all
the comments and revisions as outlined in the previous tasks and as
deemed appropriate to incorporate by the stakeholders. The
presentation of the Final TSS Report discussed the overall findings,
major changes and revisions to the report that were incorporated
based on comments received from the committee members and the
public.
