Abstract: An October 1997 Report and Order in ET Docket No. 96-2 established a Coordination Zone that covers the Islands of Puerto Rico, Desecheo, Mona, Vieques, and Culebra within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Coordination Zone and notifications procedures enable the Arecibo Radio Astronomy Observatory (Observatory) to receive information needed to assess whether a radio service applicant's proposed operations will cause harmful interference to the Observatory's operations, and promote efficient resolution of problems through coordination between radio service applicants and the Observatory. The Commission is submitting this non-substantive change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to correct a mathematical error to the burden hours. The submission was originally approved by OMB on January 7, 2014. There are no other changes to this information collection.
