requirements. However, the total annual burden has been modified. The 
Commission was directed by the United States Congress, in the Balanced 
Budget Act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in 
the 746-806 MHz band for public safety services. Section 90.179 
requires that Part 90 licensees that share use of their private land 
mobile radio facility on a non-profit, cost-sharing basis, keep a 
written sharing agreement as part of the station records. Regardless of 
the method of sharing, an up-to-date list of persons who are sharing 
the station and the basis of their eligibility under Part 90 must be 
maintained. The recordkeeping requirement is necessary to identify 
users of the system should interference problems develop. This 
information is used by the Commission to investigate interference 
complaints and resolve interference and operational complaints that may 
arise among the users.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
