burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

frequency coordinator to provide, within one business day, a listing of
their frequency recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in
their respective pool, and, if requested, an engineering analyses. They
can use any method to ensure compliance with the one business day
requirement and must provide, at a minimum, the name of the applicant;
frequency or frequencies recommended; antenna locations and heights;
the effective radiated power; the type(s) of emissions; description of
the service area; and date and time of the recommendation. Should a
conflict in recommendations arise the affected coordinators are jointly
responsible for taking action to resolve the conflict, up to and

interference is created because two or more coordinators recommend the
same frequency in the same area at approximately the same time to
different applicants.

Acting Secretary.
