I also seem to be unable to access the entire aiti.gov.bn domain as a 
whole as well but this specific document hasbeen archived in archive.org 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20240724130146/https://www.aiti.gov.bn/media/voqau1jw/brunei-darussalam-radio-spectrum-plan-2014-2015.pdf>

Unfortunately, no

I've found another document 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20240724125731/https://www.aiti.gov.bn/media/qjchjoni/code-of-practice-for-srd.pdf> 
(appears to be un-dated) which makes specific mention of DFS and TPC.

Best regards,
Nathaniel
