The FCC developed 55 regional committees to administer the local and state guidance for the 800 MHz spectrum. Therefore within Nevada to cover the statewide system, the Nevada Shared Radio System (NSRS) created partnerships amongst Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Nevada Energy (NV Energy) and Washoe County.
