- In particular, we continue to disagree with MariTEL's contention that the AIS emission mask is not as stringent as the emission mask typically applicable to maritime transmitters under Part 80 of the Commission's Rules. MariTEL's contentions to the contrary appear to be premised on a comparison of the IEC 61993-2 25 kHz mask that is incorporated by reference in Section 80.1101(c)(12) with the Part 90 emission mask, set forth in Section 90.210, that is applicable to narrowband Part 80 operations pursuant to Section 80.207(d). The proper comparison, however, is with the emission mask set forth in Section 80.211. That comparison demonstrates that the AIS emission mask is not less rigorous than the otherwise applicable Part 80 mask. We conclude that the

Section 80.1071(c)(1) requires, as a condition of the exemption, that the subject fishing vessels carry, among other things, a VHF radiotelephone installation meeting the requirements of Section 80.1101(c)(2) and an MF or HF radiotelephone installation meeting the requirements of Section 80.1101(c)(3) and (4). However, the cross-referenced provisions of Section 80.1101(c) incorporate by reference international standards that mandate DSC capability. As currently crafted, then, the rules mandate that the subject fishing vessels carry DSC equipment in order to be relieved of the requirement to carry such equipment. We correct
