SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,

invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to

ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the

other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB

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 non-profit, cost-sharing 
basis to prepare and 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 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.
