requirements. However, the total annual burden has been modified. The
Commission was directed by the United States Congress, in the Balanced
Budget Act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in
the 746-806 MHz band for public safety services. Section 90.179
requires that Part 90 licensees that share use of their private land
mobile radio facility on a non-profit, cost-sharing basis, 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 recordkeeping 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.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
