    Needs and Uses: The reporting requirement in section 90.176 is a

Land Mobile frequency coordinator 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. This requirement is necessary to avoid situations 
where harmful interference is created because two or more coordinators 
recommend the same frequency in the same area at approximately the same 
time to different applicants.

revision is to make the necessary changes for the 700 MHz Band and 700 
MHz Guard Band Auctions and to convert the Land Mobile Services (Part 
90) to ULS. We sought emergency clearance on these changes in order to
