    Section 90.179 requires Part 90 licensees that share use of their 
private land mobile radio (PLMR) facility on a non-profit, cost-shared 
basis keep a written sharing agreement as part of the station records. 
The written agreement would set out: (1) The method of sharing, (2) the 
components of the system which are covered by the sharing arrangements, 
(3) the method by which costs are to be apportioned, (4) and 
acknowledgement that all shared transmitter use must be subject to the 
licensee's control.
    These requirements are necessary to identify users of the systems 
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.
