    Number of Respondents: 15 respondents; 3,900 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party coordination requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection (IC) is contained 
in sections 47 U.S.C. 1, 154(i), 301, 302, 303(f), 303(r), 309(j) and 
332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

    Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
(no change in the reporting requirements and/or third party disclosure 
requirements) after this 60 day comment period to Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance. 
Section 90.176 requires each Private Land Mobile 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 analysis.
    Any method can be used to ensure this 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; and effective radiated power; the type(s) of emissions; 
the description of the service area; and the date and time of the 
recommendation. If a conflict in recommendations arises, the effected 
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 returned.
    This requirement seeks 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.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
