Inflationary Adjustments 0 +$2,209
NTIA’s adjustments-to-base in FY 2016 total $2.209 million. The increase includes the 2016 estimated pay raise of 1.3 percent and service contracts with inflationary labor rates. Non-labor increases include rent, utilities, and security.

The world is becoming more interconnected with the rapid growth of the Internet and the globalization of information technology services and equipment. As the Internet matures and expands internationally, threats to its openness have increased. NTIA is the only agency in the Executive Branch with the mission to advise the President on these critical national and international issues--from cybersecurity and net neutrality to targeted ads, big data, and Internet governance. NTIA requests additional funding for domestic and international policy development to help it assess increasingly complex information policy issues; to help it influence national and international policy to advance U.S. economic and foreign policy objectives, preserve the Internet’s openness, and maintain the internet’s cultural and economic potentials; and to
strengthen the interagency policy development process to advance economic growth while protecting citizens and consumers.
Various communications companies’ plans to retire time division multiplexing (TDM) technology and transition to Internet protocol (IP) technology in their networks threaten the functionality of hundreds of millions of dollars of Federal systems. To ensure a smooth transition without threatening essential public safety and communications public services, it is imperative that NTIA coordinate Federal agencies’ inventory, evaluation, and planning for this transition and serve as a needed liaison between the agencies and the private sector on IP transition issues. At the same time, NTIA must support
include promoting the initiative with foreign governments and emphasizing to U.S. industry the importance of their response to and compliance with foreign law enforcement requests.
NTIA’s focused investment will strengthen the Nation’s ability to address an ever-growing number of Internet-related policy issues. Much is at stake – including innovation, privacy, free expression, child protection, the integrity of the Internet, and billions in trade. NTIA will collaborate with key interagency stakeholders to ensure a unified approach on global Internet governance issues, with a strategic focus on consensus-based policy development, stakeholder engagement, and coordinated execution.

Advanced Communications Research 42 $7,727 +8 +$4,828
NTIA requests an increase of $4.8 million and 8 FTE to fund its partnership with the NIST, through the Center for Advanced Communications, to support research, testing, and standards development required by government and industry and to address the Nation’s constantly increasing need for spectrum. NTIA, as affirmed by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, has determined that, to meet the growing spectrum needs of commercial broadband providers, the Nation must determine how government agencies and commercial providers can share
spectrum in the same geographic areas. The Center for Advanced Communications also will provide test-beds to catalyze accelerated development, testing, and deployment of advanced communications technologies for commercial and government applications. By leveraging the expertise of NTIA and NIST, the Center for Advanced Communications will facilitate research into new spectrum management approaches. NTIA will develop, validate, and field test a spectrum- monitoring system to assess spectrum-sharing technologies. The system will include a network of radiofrequency (RF) sensors, initially covering 10 major metropolitan areas, and a centralized database for storing and retrieving spectrum usage information. NTIA expects that spectrum policy makers, researchers, and other stakeholders will use the data to investigate the feasibility of new spectrum-sharing approaches in key Federal and non-Federal bands. This project is a critical step forward in examining new technologies that can improve management of the Nation's airwaves and help address the ever-increasing demands of wireless communications.

Expanding Community Broadband and the
Digital Economy +5 +$3,568
While NTIA will reduce overall spending in its Broadband Programs in FY 2016 as a result of the ramp-down of the broadband grant programs funded by the 2009 Recovery Act, the demands for faster broadband infrastructure are
stronger than ever. NTIA will continue to leverage the momentum of its $4.4 billion broadband investment in the Recovery Act by building coalitions, sharing information and capacity-building tools, and providing technical expertise to promote expansion of broadband in communities nationwide. As grant administration and oversight work winds down, NTIA will redirect a portion of existing base resources towards a strategy that utilizes public/private partnerships and builds on strong working relationships NTIA has developed with broadband providers, municipal organizations, innovation economy firms, non-profit organizations, foundations, and other Federal stakeholders.
