Book excerpt: The Consultative Committee on International Radio (CCIR) is a technical advisory group that, within the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), provides formal recommendations, technical advice, and technical information related to the allocation and use of the radio spectrum. The CCIR does its work through a number of separate study groups, each of which deals primarily with one or more radio based services recognized by the ITU. One of these, Study Group 7, is called 'Science Services' and deals with, among other things, time and frequency services, and related topics. This part of CCIR is probably best known for its development and implementation of the UTC time system in 1972. The U.S. National Administration develops proposed recommendations and provides other technical input to the CCIR through an organization of U.S. Study Groups that parallel those functioning internationally. Both the private and government sectors participate actively under the general oversight of the U.S. State Department and its U.S. CCIR National Committee. Current and projected future activities of U.S. and international Study Group 7 are described, including some examples of current recommendations, handbooks, and other documentation that might be useful for working with time and frequency applications.
