    On October 15, 1997, the FCC released a Report and Order, ET Docket 
No. 96-2, RM-8165, 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.
