Abstract
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.

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 May 18,
2026. 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.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0783.
Title: Section 90.176, Coordinator Notification Requirements on
Frequencies Below 512 MHz or at 769-775/799-805 MHz or at 1427-1432
MHz.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 14 respondents; 10,920
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.33 hours.

party disclosure requirement.
[[Page 12799]]
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: 3,640 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
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.
