Conduct SSD Processing SPS Certification of Spectrum Support Review

The SSD processing SPS Certification of Spectrum Support Review may only be conducted for certifications that have an Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) number. For a more in-depth discussion of a better task flows within processing, see SRB, SSD, and SPS Overview.

Within SSD processing, the SPS Certification of Spectrum Support Review is conducted after the SRB Engineer has completed an engineering review, and after the certification request has been given an Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) number. If the certification request does not have an IRAC number, and IRAC number may be obtained from IRACNET, outside of the workflow.

To conduct the SSD processing Certification of Spectrum Support Review, The SPS Chair / Vice Chair will identify SPS Certification of Spectrum Support Review tasks within the My Tasks table in the Requests dashboard.

Once a specific task is selected, the task form instruction steps should be followed.

1. Review instructions and/or comments posted in the Internal Discussion section.
2. Provide comments in the Internal Discussion section.
3. Select one of these options from the drop-down menu in the upper left corner of the task form:
   1. If the SPS Chair / Vice Chair approves: upload the reviewed Certification of Spectrum Support and select Approve to exit the task form.
   2. If the SPS Chair / Vice Chair does not approve:
      • The SPS Chair / Vice Chair may select SRB/WG 8 to send the request back to its original source. The workflow will recognize and automatically send the request back to the source it was received from (i.e., either the SRB Engineer or the WG 8 Chair).
      • The SPS Chair / Vice Chair may also select “SPS Prep” to send the request to the SPS Secretary for further preparatory work that occurs outside of SSD processing.
