This is part of my job, dealing with spectrum and Washington.
I communicate with the FCC and NTIA fairly often at this point.
You need to pay attention to Arielle Roth, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information
Administrator, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
"... administration’s investment in unlicensed access in 6 GHz ensures the benefits of the entire spectrum band are delivered directly to American families and businesses in the form of more innovation and faster and more reliable connectivity at home and on the go, which will continue to transform and deliver long-lasting impact for communities of all sizes across the country.
Charter applauds Administrator Roth's leadership, and her recognition of the critical role unlicensed spectrum plays today and in the future, both in the U.S. and across the globe."
"... To identify the remainder, NTIA plans to assess four targeted spectrum bands in the range set by Congress: 7125-7400 MHz; 1680-1695 MHz; 2700-2900 MHz; and 4400-4940 MHz."
"On the topic of on-the-ground realities, let’s also not forget what powers our networks today. While licensed spectrum is critical, the majority of mobile traffic is actually offloaded onto Wi-Fi. Born in America, led by America, Wi-Fi remains an area where we dominate, and we must continue to invest in this important technology. With Wi-Fi, the race has already been won. China knows it cannot compete and for that reason looks for ways to sabotage the very ingenuity that made Wi-Fi a global standard."
Roth is not going to take away 6GHz from current ISM allocation.

From the article, about the November event:
