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.

Relative to the information collection that occurred three years ago, the Commission is reporting an adjustment to the total number of respondents from 200 to 450 (+250), total annual responses from 1,000 to 4,000 (+3,000), and the total annual burden hours from 112 to 602 (+490). We believe that the revised numbers more accurately represent the current situation in the Coordination Zone.
