    On October 15, 1997, the FCC adopted and released a Report and 
Order, ET Docket No. 96-2, FCC 97-347, that established a Coordination 
Zone for new and modified radio facilities in various communications 
services that cover the islands of Puerto Rico, Desecheo, Mona, 
Vieques, and Culebra within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The 
coordination zone and notification procedures enable the Arecibo Radio 
Astronomy Observatory to receive information needed to assess whether 
an applicant's proposed operations will cause harmful interference to 
the Arecibo Observatory's operations, which also promotes efficient 
resolution of coordination problems between the applicants and the 
Arecibo Observatory. The Observatory will perform interference 
evaluations at no cost to the applicants. If potential interference 
problems are identified, applicants are required to make reasonable 
attempts to resolve or mitigate such problems in order to protect the 
Observatory.
