Federal agencies would have to show the estimated dollar value of the radio airwaves they use. The estimates would compare federal use with what the same airwaves might be worth for commercial wireless service.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Government Spectrum Valuation Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on S. 792: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that use radio spectrum for their work. They would have to include the latest estimated value of that spectrum in their budgets and yearly financial statements. It also affects the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Office of Management and Budget because they would help create or use the estimates. Commercial wireless companies and Congress could use the new information in future spectrum debates, but the bill does not give anyone new spectrum access by itself.
Why this matters: Federal agencies use valuable airwaves, but the public often cannot see their market value. This bill would put that value into agency budgets and financial reports. That could make it easier to compare federal use with possible commercial wireless use. It could also affect later choices about keeping, sharing, or moving spectrum, though the bill does not make those choices itself.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
