Allocation and use of scarce resources. Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers and rights of way, will be carried out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands will be made publicly available, but detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.
Allocation and use of scarce resources. 1. Each Party shall administer its procedures for the allocation and use of scarce telecommunications resources, including frequencies, numbers, and rights-of-way, in an objective, timely, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner. 2. Each Party shall make publicly available the current state of allocated frequency bands but retains the right not to provide detailed identification of frequencies allocated or assigned for specific government uses. 3. A Party's measures allocating and assigning spectrum and managing frequencies shall not be considered inconsistent with Article 10.4 (Market Access), as it applies to either Chapter Nine (Investment) or Ten (Cross-Border Trade in Services). Accordingly, each Party retains the right to establish and apply its spectrum and frequency management policies that may limit the number of suppliers of public telecommunications networks or services. Each Party also retains the right to allocate frequency bands, taking into account present and future needs and spectrum availability.

2. Each Party shall make publicly available the current state of allocated frequency bands but shall not be required to provide detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses.
3. A Party's measures allocating and assigning spectrum and managing frequency are not measures that are per se inconsistent with Article 8.5 (Market Access) of Chapter 8 (Trade in Services). Accordingly, each Party retains the right to establish and apply spectrum and frequency management policies that may have the effect of limiting the number of suppliers of public telecommunications networks or services, provided it does so in a manner consistent with other provisions of this Agreement. This includes the ability to allocate frequency bands, taking into account current and future needs and spectrum availability.
4. When making a spectrum allocation for non-government telecommunications networks or services, each Party shall endeavour to rely on an open and transparent public comment process that considers the overall public interest. Each Party shall endeavour to rely generally on market based approaches in assigning spectrum for terrestrial non-government telecommunications services.
Allocation and use of scarce resources. 1. Each Party shall carry out any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources related to telecommunications, including frequencies, numbers and rights of way, in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. 2. Each Party shall make publicly available the current state of allocated frequency bands, but shall not be required to provide detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses. 3. A Party's measures allocating and assigning spectrum and managing frequency are not measures that are per se inconsistent with Article 106. Accordingly, each Party retains the right to establish and apply spectrum and frequency management policies that have the effect of limiting the number of suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks or services, provided that it does so in a manner consistent with other provisions of this Agreement. Such right includes the ability to allocate frequency bands, taking into account current and future needs and spectrum availability.
Allocation and use of scarce resources. 4 For Colombia, the term "competitively neutral" includes both competitively and technologically neutral. 1. Each Party shall administer its procedures for the allocation and use of scarce telecommunications resources, including frequencies, numbers, and rights-of-way, in an objective, timely, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner. 2. Each Party shall make publicly available the current state of allocated frequency bands but retains the right not to provide detailed identification of frequencies allocated or assigned for specific government uses. 3. A Party's measures allocating and assigning spectrum and managing frequencies shall not be considered inconsistent with Article 9.4 (Market Access), as it applies to either Chapters 8 (Investment) or 9 (Cross-Border Trade in Services). Accordingly, each Party retains the right to establish and apply spectrum and frequency management policies that may limit the number of suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks and services. Each Party also retains the right to allocate frequency bands, taking into account present and future needs and spectrum availability.

2. Each Party shall make publicly available the current state of allocated frequency bands, but shall not be required to provide detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses.
3. For greater certainty, a Party’s measures allocating and assigning spectrum and managing frequency are not measures that are per se inconsistent with Article 8.5 (Market Access). Accordingly, each Party retains the right to establish and apply spectrum and frequency management policies that may have the effect of limiting the number of suppliers of public telecommunications networks or services, provided that the Party does so in a manner consistent with other provisions of Chapter 8 (Trade in Services). Such right includes the ability to allocate frequency bands, taking into account current and future needs and spectrum availability.
4. When making a spectrum allocation for commercial telecommunications services, each Party shall endeavour to rely on an open and transparent process that considers the public interest, including the promotion of competition. Each Party shall endeavour to rely generally on market-based approaches in assigning spectrum for terrestrial commercial telecommunications services, if appropriate. In this regard, each Party may use mechanisms such as auctions, administrative incentive pricing, or unlicensed use, if appropriate, to assign spectrum for commercial use.
5. Each Party shall ensure that a supplier of public telecommunications networks or services of another Party established in the territory of the former Party is afforded access to telephone numbers in a non-discriminatory manner.

ATTACHMENT TO THE UNITED STATES SCHEDULE ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS PAPER I
(a) Taking note of principles of federalism under the United States Constitution, recognizing that insurance has been regulated at the state government level since the beginning of insurance regulation in the United States, and further recognizing the provision of the XxXxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Act that “[t]he business of insurance...shall be subject to the laws of the several States,” the Government of the United States welcomes efforts by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) to promote the harmonization of state insurance regulation, through such steps as its Accreditation Program and the preparation of model insurance laws.
(b) The Government of the United States notes that under Accreditation Program, the NAIC selects an independent team of auditors to review the compliance of states with the laws, regulations, and regulatory and organizational practices contained in the NAIC accreditation standards. The team reports to the NAIC, which determines whether a state qualifies for accreditation under the standards. As of October 11, 1994, 37 states were accredited by the NAIC through this program.
(c) The Government of the United States notes that NAIC Model Laws are designed to facilitate legislative and regulatory action on common problems among the states and are intended to save duplication of effort on the part of the states. Some models are adopted by all or most of the states, so there is a harmonizing effect. Some models serve as guidelines which the states may adopt, utilize or amend to fit their individual needs. Certain models have been identified as being of such import that their adoption is necessary for states to be accredited pursuant to NAIC financial regulation standards.
(d) The Government of the United States encourages the NAIC to continue its effort to work with state governments on these programs.
(e) Recognizing principles of federalism, the long history of state regulation of insurance in the United States, and the XxXxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Act, and noting the concerns of regulators...
