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.
