    Number of Respondents and Responses: 13 respondents; 3,380 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure 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. 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r) and 332(c)(7) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,690 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
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.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
