MRFAC has long been active in public policy debates affecting the radio spectrum interests of manufacturers and industrial users. These advocacy efforts are often undertaken with The National Association of Manufacturers, with whom MRFAC has had a long and close working relationship. A few examples of MRFAC’s advocacy include:
-
Its successful initiative for the designation of additional crane control frequencies,
-
Its defense of industrial radio interests in the FCC’s refarming and narrowbanding rulemakings,
-
Its successful advocacy efforts on behalf of business and industrial radio users in the 800 MHz rebanding proceeding,
-
Its successful efforts in the 900 MHz proceeding, and
-
Its filing in opposition to the Federal Aviation Administration’s proposal for a sweeping expansion of that agency’s antenna structure registration program (a proposal that would entail new and unnecessary burdens for industry).
