  • establishes appropriate Sea Area A1 coast stations. As indicated above, the shore-based VHF and MF DSC equipment needed to support Sea Areas A1 and A2 in the United States is not yet fully operational. We seek comment on both our proposal for a general exemption and what the qualification requirements should be for this exemption. Finally, we propose that Sections 80.1123(c) and (d) of our Rules, which address watch keeping requirements, be moved to Subpart G (Safety Watch Requirements and Procedures) and updated. We seek comment on these proposals and any other Part 80 rule that may need revision. b. Compulsory Radiotelegraph Installations for Vessels 1600 Gross Tons [Subpart Q] 18. Background.

  • to the frequencies set forth in section 80.373(f), to utilize the frequencies available to ship radio stations pursuant to section 80.871(d). API adds that, if the Commission adopts its recommendation, the Commission should not make marine radio stations engaged in activities on or around offshore platforms subject to additional regulatory burdens such as the watch requirements set forth under section 80.1123. LMS Wireless recommends that the Commission replace AMTS with a new Part 90 service for use in an ``Advanced-Technology Land Infrastructure and Safety Service (ATLIS).'' It also recommends that the Commission remove all VPC restrictions relating to maritime traffic and clarify the rules on what inland VPC licenses (and non-inland VPC licenses, when used solely to serve land areas) are

  • additional systems as an alternative to INMARSAT, thereby promoting competition. This could result in substantial savings to the affected ships. As this proposal will have a positive effect on the marine community, we will permit the use of these alternative satellite systems for vessels sailing in domestic waters. Safety Watch Requirements and Procedures Watch Requirements on Channel 16 Background. Section 80.1123 requires compulsory ships at sea to maintain a continuous watch on VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) until February 1, 1999. As that date has passed, and the SOLAS Convention extended this requirement until February 1, 2005, the Commission proposed updating its rules to retain the watch requirement until the new SOLAS date. It also proposed moving Section 80.1123(c) and (d)

  • permit DSC relays, and we see no reason for the Part 80 rules to diverge from the international standards on this point. In sum, we believe that Sections 80.1117 and 80.1121, as currently written, clearly and properly neither mandate nor prohibit the use of DSC in relaying distress alerts. Channel 16 Watch Requirement Compulsory Vessels Background. Sections 80.148, 80.305 and 80.1123 of the Commission's Rules require compulsory ships at sea to maintain a continuous watch on maritime VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz). Each of the rules includes a sunset date, i.e., a date on which the Channel 16 watch requirement would terminate by its own terms. In the Report and Order, the Commission extended that sunset date from February 1, 1999
