The question of who should get access to the so-called “lower three,” or the part of the broadband spectrum ranging from 3.1GHz to 3.45GHz, has the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and industry in a stand-off with the Department of Defense. A new report due to be released next month could be the key to ending the stalemate.Congressional authority to auction off parts of the broadband spectrum to industry expired in March, and while telecommunications companies and the FCC continue their push

2023/08/02

As you look higher up in the ranks of the federal workforce, you’ll find less diversity among some of the government’s senior-most leaders. That lack of diversity in the Senior Executive Service — the cohort of federal senior leaders serving just under agencies’ top political appointees — has been evident for decades. Notably, though, it has improved in just the past few years. Over time, the SES has grown in numbers and become more diverse along the way, but it’s still not fully representative of

As the nation marked the 75th anniversary of desegregation in the military and the federal workforce, it celebrated progress — but the occasion also served as a reckoning. A combination of congressional concerns about quotas and recruiting problems for the armed services reveals a fault line in how the military should set policies to increase diversity. “I think we as a nation have always been three steps forward, two steps back.

The Coast Guard is famous for its field units up-and-down the coasts. They're the ones who launch search-and-rescue missions when fishing boats capsize or canoes drift into shipping lanes. But the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found the field units often don't have emergency food and water for themselves. For more on this, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Heather MacLeod, GAO's Director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues. (GAO REPORT HERE) Learn more about your ad choices

2023/08/02

Two recent Supreme Court decisions changed the calculus for contractors when it comes to dealing with the False Claims Act. The court altered long-standing definitions of "reckless disregard" and "deliberate ignorance." And it gave the government more discretion over dismissing whistleblower cases under the false claims act. For analysis, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin turned to long-time procurement attorney and a partner at Center Law, Alan Chvotkin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

The Postal Service no longer teeters on the brink of a crisis. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is trying to keep it that way. USPS no longer finds itself in the same dire shape it was in at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. When DeJoy took office in June 2020, the agency was on track to lose $20 billion that year, and stood less than two months away from running out of cash to operate. The agency, even with some financial intervention from Congress — $10 billion in emergency pandemic funds and $3
