Dear Mr. Harder:

Enclosed please find the Montana data submittal for FirstNet. In addition to the Word document, you will find the information in spreadsheet form along with maps and the data behind the maps.

The information we have gathered accurately portrays the unique rural characteristics of Montana. Moreover, the Statewide Interoperability Governing Board (SIGB) has reviewed the data, including the baseline mapping data, and has recommended five (5) coverage area objectives by priority over seven (7) build-out phases.

The SIGB, its member Public Safety Associations; and, my staff and I look forward to working with FirstNet and its contractor(s) to provide public safety 4G LTE coverage to Montana’s citizens and visitors.

The Montana data submittal can be up-loaded from the following FTP site: ftp://ftp.geoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Documents/Projects/FirstNet/

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 406-444-2700 or [email protected].

Sincerely

Ron Baldwin, CIO & SPOCState Information Technology Services DivisionDepartment of AdministrationState of Montana

FirstNet Data Call - Montana Response Executive Summary

Executive Summary:

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) issued a data call to the states and territories in order to assess and prioritize the potential coverage and capacity of 4G LTE service to the public safety community. After selecting a private partner, FirstNet and the private partner will develop fifty-six (56) network deployment plans, one for each state and territory. The information and recommendations contained in this document will be considered by FirstNet while selecting a private partner and subsequently developing the Montana Network Deployment Plan.

To satisfy FirstNet’s requirements and collect the requested data, Staff used a variety of sources. Information was collected from federal fire and law enforcement data bases as well as the U.S. Census Bureau. The Montana State Library GIS Section has drawn several maps of Montana that reveal where Montanans’ live and how we rely on our highways. Moreover, by the State wide Interoperability Governing Board’s (SIGB’s) direction, information was gathered from the Montana Department of Commerce Office of Tourism about out-of-state visitors.

Montana public safety associations sit on the SIGB, which is an advisory board to Governor Steve Bullock. For advice and notification to local members to take the Mobile Data Survey, Staff leaned into the SIGB associations including the Montana State Fire Chiefs Association (MSFCA), the Montana Volunteer Fire Fighters Association (MVFFA), the Montana Sheriffs and Police Officers Association (MSPOA), the Montana Association of Chiefs of Police (MACOP), and the Montana Emergency Medical Services Association (MEMSA). In addition, meetings were held with Tribal representatives to gather their input into the data call.

All of this information was considered over several months by the SIGB as it deliberated over coverage area priorities to recommend to FirstNet. The Montana Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Single Point of Contact (SPOC), Ron Baldwin, facilitated discussions with and by the SIGB. The priorities are:

1. Provide the FirstNet Network to sixty-three county seats/tribal headquarters over seven (7) build-out phases.

2. Provide coverage on Montana highways in order of traffic usage with initial coverage to include Interstates, and other heavily traveled routes to Glacier National Park (GNP) and Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in the summers and heavily traveled routes to Montana’s destination ski areas in the winter.

3. Provide coverage to critical infrastructure including dams, power plants, transmission lines, industrial sites and railroads.

State of Montana Page 1

FirstNet Data Call - Montana Response Executive Summary

4. Provide coverage to rural Incorporated Towns, Census Designated Places (CDP), farm and ranch areas; and, in areas not otherwise classified other than this segment of the population lives in counties.

5. Provide a full range of deployable equipment that can reach a cell tower or satellite. It is particularly important to provide data and communications to forest and wild land fire fighters as well as emergency management personnel who respond to floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

According to current FirstNet information, the public safety 4G LTE Network will be built-out in seven (7) phases. Phases one (1) through five (5) will focus on existing privately held infrastructure. 4G LTE equipment will be installed at existing cell sites and those sites will be hardened to enhance security. FirstNet will deploy in and near population concentrations first and extend out to sparsely populated areas. The last two (2) expansion phases may include the use of publically owned infrastructure; this is important to our state because of our sparse population spread over 145,546 square miles. Congress gave FirstNet until 2022 to spend the initial seven (7) billion dollars it authorized for the Network.

Montana Tribal Nations: Although there have been several meetings with tribal representatives, priority coverage areas have not yet been identified by each Tribal Nation. Working with the Tribes will continue long past the September 30, 2015 FirstNet data submission. In recognition of the Tribal Nations, as a placeholder, the Tribes are included in Priority number one (1). Also, note the Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs sits on the SIGB and has been helpful in coordinating with Tribal Officials.

It goes without saying that Montana’s rural demographic make-up, its widely disbursed population, and its highly variable geographic features present real challenges to Network deployment. The FirstNet 4G LTE Network holds the promise of providing public safety state of the art communication and data tools to serve Montana residents and visitors. Critical information will be passed in real time that will greatly enhance saving lives, including the lives of first responders who protect our citizens and their property.


FirstNet Data Call - Montana Response Section-1

Section 1. SIGB Coverage Area Priority Recommendations The Montana SIBG is a fifteen member board appointed by the Governor. The Board includes local public safety officials who are representing associations of sheriffs, police, fire, and emergency medical public safety professionals. The Governor’s Director of Indian Affairs sits on the Board in part to be a conduit to Montana’s seven (7) Tribal Nations about FirstNet developments.

The SIGB has discussed priority coverage area recommendations at its August and September, 2015 meetings. Based on those deliberations and supporting data, below are the SIGB recommended 4G LTE Priority Coverage Areas:

1. Provide the FirstNet Network to sixty-three county seats/tribal headquarters over seven (7) build-out phases.

2. Provide coverage on Montana highways in order of traffic usage with initial coverage to include Interstates, and other heavily traveled routes to Glacier National Park (GNP) and Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in the summers and heavily traveled routes to Montana’s destination ski areas in the winter.

3. Provide coverage to critical infrastructure including dams, power plants, transmission lines, industrial sites and railroads.

4. Provide coverage to rural Incorporated Towns, Census Designated Places (CDP), farm and ranch areas; and, in areas not otherwise classified other than segment of the population lives in counties.

5. Provide a full range of deployable equipment that can reach a cell tower or satellite. It is particularly important to provide data and communications to forest and wild land fire fighters as well as emergency management personnel who respond to floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

The Chart above breaks out the Montana population by where people live and approximate square mile area. About 53% of the population lives in incorporated cities and towns. Note that the fifty-six (56) County Seats are a sub-set of the incorporated cities and towns with a population of 472,117 and an aggregate of 222 square miles. Also note that Montana’s seven (7) largest cities are a sub-set of the incorporated cities and towns with a population of 352,170 and an aggregate of 44 square miles.

As the reader can see, Montana cities and towns are placed on an estimated 292 square miles. This is a diminutive number compared to the total land area of 145,546 square miles.



This Graph illustrates the inverse relationship between population and square miles. Populated areas are placed on low square miles while sparsely populated areas are on large square mile areas. The economic challenge for FirstNet is covering Montana's vast square mile area.

Section 2. Out -of -State Visitor ConsiderationsAccording to the Montana Department of Commerce Tourism Office, over ten million non-residents visit Montana each year. There are over one million air passengers that de-plane each year at Montana airports. The other nine (9) million drive on the Interstate Highways (I-90, I-15, I 94), and other four (4) and two (2) lane highways to their destinations. Data sets are available for Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks where tourists come through Montana /Park entrances. Here is the data:

MT Skier Visits 2014


FirstNet Data Call - Montana Response Section-2 In conclusion, Montana experiences an influx of visitors during the year that increases the population as much as 10X as a cumulative number over twelve (12) months.

Available data sets indicate that high visitor impact areas include the Bozeman to Big Sky to West Yellowstone corridor (US 191), Bozeman to Bridger Bowl Ski Area (MT 86), the Kalispell to West Glacier corridor (US 2 and MT 206), and, Kalispell to the Whitefish Mountain Resort (US 2 and 93).



Section 3. Montana Public Safety Entity Agencies As part of the data call, FirstNet has requested basic information about Montana public safety entities. This includes a list of agencies with addresses, contact information and staffing levels. The Montana PSE Associations have varying degrees of information. Several federal data bases have aided in presenting a snap shot of Montana PSE’s. Namely, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) Census of Montana Fire Fighters and the 2013 UCR Master File maintained by the FBI are used. First, here is summary information on the Fire Fighters:

Emergency Medical Services: A census of public and private emergency medical personnel is not available. However, a current licensing registration list reveals there are ninety-five (95) Emergency Medical Services Agencies in Montana. These EMS service providers are headquartered in thirty-four Montana Counties and serve both urban and rural areas.

In total, according the UCR Master File, the USFA Census and EMS Licensing data, there are over 9,233 public safety personnel working at 713 public safety agencies/departments/fire districts in Montana. Approximately six thousand (6,000) of those personnel are volunteer fire fighters. This information is important to FirstNet as it looks at potential users of the

FirstNet Network.

Lists of Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS and Emergency Management agencies and contacts (partial, see Spreadsheet) are included in the Appendix.



Section 4. Mobile Data Survey FirstNet requested that Montana PSE’s take a survey about current wireless device usage. The survey is located on-line at WWW.//Publicsafetytools.Info. This website is maintained by the Office of Emergency Communications (OEC).

To date, eighty-two PSE’s have taken the survey. A list of responding PSE’s is included in the Appendix. FirstNet will directly access cost and usage information from OEC. Below are tabulations about the seven (7) questions posed by the MDS:

Section 5. MappingBaseline Coverage Area Mapping:FirstNet and its federal partner the Office of Emergency Communications (OEC), developed a baseline coverage map as a basis for the states and territories to recommend coverage area priorities. FirstNet instructed the states and territories to add to its mapping factors if relevant. The Montana State and Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP) turned to the Montana State Library (MSL) Geo-Mapping Section to update the FirstNet-OEC Map. MSL had updated data as displayed in the Chart below:

Here are the FirstNet Map and the Montana State Library Map side by side: Note the MSL map is more detailed, displaying more data points per square mile than the OEC/FirstNet map. These maps, especially the MSL map were used by the SIGB to analyze and make priority coverage area recommendations. The MSL map clearly displays Montana population and road densities.

The MSL map is a more detailed display of where populations and road traffic occur within Montana’s 145k landmass. The comparison of the maps was a factor in the coverage area priority recommendations. To emphasize the FirstNet and Montana State Library Maps, they are displayed on the next page:

Notations and Definitions:

1. The Farm and Ranch population and square mile area is taken from the Montana 2012 Agricultural Statistics. When working in multiple data bases there can be anomalies. In order to conform to US Census Information, the total square miles from the Farm and Ranch Statistics have been reduced by 5,260 square miles resulting in the Chart figure of 90,655.The square mile area for farm and ranch and federal lands includes the 38,084 square mile figure for the Balance of State.

2. The CDP, City and Town data are taken from the U.S. Census 2010. The County Seats data is taken from the Montana League of Cities and Towns website. Note there is a variance of about 5,000 between the two sources. The Census uses 989,415 for a base while updated population totals are currently at 1,020,944 for the Montana population. Also note that Butte/Silver Bow and Anaconda Deer Lodge are consolidated so square mile area includes all of the two counties-not just the cities of Butte and Anaconda.

3. Census Designated Place—A statistical geographic entity with a concentration of population, housing, and commercial structures that is identifiable by name, but is not within an incorporated place. Federal Register/Vol. 72, No. 66/Friday, April 6, 2007/Notices.
