    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained

service must provide a copy of its plan to every TV Channel 13 station 
whose Grade B predicted contour overlaps the licensed service area as 
required by Sec.  95.815(a) of the Commission's rules. This plan must 
include an analysis of the co- and adjacent channel interference 
potential of proposed systems in the 218-219 MHz service, identify 
methods being used to minimize interference, and show how the proposed 
systems will meet the service requirements set forth in Sec.  95.831 of 
the Commission's rules. This plan must be sent to the TV Channel 13 
licensee(s) within 10 days from the date the 218-219 MHz service

and eliminate harmful interference to television broadcasting and 
reception, from its component cell transmitter stations (CTSs) and 
response transmitter units (RTUs) within 30 days of the time it is 
notified in writing, by either an affected television station, an 
affected viewer, or the Commission, of an interference complaint.
    This information will be used to monitor the co- and adjacent 
channel interference potential of proposed systems in the 218-219 MHz 
service, and to identify methods being used to minimize interference, 
as well as to show how the proposed systems will meet the service 
requirements set forth in Sec.  95.831 of the Commission's rules.
