frequency coordinator to provide, within one business day, a listing of 
their frequency recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in 
their respective pool, and, if requested, an engineering analyses. They 
can use any method to ensure compliance with the one business day 
requirement and must provide, at a minimum, the name of the applicant; 
frequency or frequencies recommended; antenna locations and heights; 
the effective radiated power; the type(s) of emissions; description of 
the service area; and date and time of the recommendation. Should a 
conflict in recommendations arise the affected coordinators are jointly 
responsible for taking action to resolve the conflict, up to and 
including notifying the Commission that an application may have to be

interference is created because two or more coordinators recommend the 
same frequency in the same area at approximately the same time to 
different applicants.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
