Spectrum management for the passive services at the national level in the US is taken care of by CORF, the Committee on Radio Frequencies, operating under the auspices of the US National Academy of Sciences and by the Spectrum Office of the NSF, the National Science Foundation. In Europe, CRAF, the Committee on Radio Astronomy Frequencies is a committee of the European Science Foundation that represents the radio astronomy community and serves as a liaison between the CEPT and the community. In the Asia Pacific region, RAFCAP, the Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in the Asia Pacific was established in 2001.
