  • can hear the transmission of any DSC acknowledgements. The ship can acknowledge the alert to the ship or to the rescue authority by using voice or narrowband direct printing as appropriate on this channel. Pursuant to these changes to the international rules, we propose modifying Section 80.1111(d) of our Rules accordingly. We also propose analogous modifications to Sections 80.1113(d) and 80.1117(a) of our Rules. We further propose to amend Section 80.1071 of our Rules in order to add a general exemption from certain GMDSS requirements for all ships that sail continuously within VHF radiotelephone coverage (approximately 20 miles from shore). We propose that this exemption would expire one year after the U.S. Coast Guard establishes appropriate Sea Area A1 coast stations.

  • relieving applicants of the burden of taking duplicative and unnecessary examinations. GMDSS Distress Call Monitoring and Acknowledgement Background. In the Report and Order, the Commission updated the Part 80 rules pertaining to the monitoring, acknowledgement and relay of distress calls so that they generally mirror the relevant IMO and ITU recommendations and standards. Among other things, the Commission revised Section 80.1117 of the Rules to specify that DSC distress calls typically are to be acknowledged only by a coast station using a DSC acknowledgment, but if a monitoring ship does not hear any such coast station acknowledgement of the distress call, ``the ship should transmit a distress alert relay to the coast station.'' The Commission also amended Section 80.1121 of the
