Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested 
concerning: Whether the proposed collection of 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 enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
3, 2019. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

    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.
