SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this

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 OMB 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 OMB control number.

    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.
