  • under the Commission's Rules, a VPC licensee or applicant may propose to use VPC spectrum to provide private land mobile radio service. The licensee or applicant must certify to that effect and must demonstrate that the proposed service does not come within the definition of a commercial mobile radio service. 47 C.F.R. § 20.9(b), (b)(1). See, e.g., 47 C.F.R. § 80.153 (requiring that operation of a coast station transmitter be performed by a person who is on duty at the station control point); §§ 80.301-80.303 (watch requirements); § 80.1119 (requirements to relay distress alerts to search and rescue personnel). See n.7, supra. Public Coast Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 19859-60 ¶ 10. Under the site-based licensing approach, the

  • unattended operation of non-DSC equipment, provided that they are exempt from the Channel 16 watch requirement pursuant to section 80.303 of the Commission's rules. To that extent, we agree with Maritel's proposal to permit unattended operation. However, VPC stations that are still subject to a Channel 16 watch requirement must have a licensed radio operator on duty, pursuant to section 80.153. We disagree with Maritel insofar as it contends that the Commission has already eliminated the requirement that even public coast stations subject to a Channel 16 watch have an operator on duty, and has instead afforded public coast station licensees discretion to determine whether or not to have an operator on duty, in accord with international regulations. Maritel cites the

In 1998, the Commission amended its rules to authorize private sector technicians to conduct the inspections.

  • A list of commenters is provided in Appendix A. 18 VHF band (156-162 MHz) public coast stations generally serve a single port area, while MF/HF band (2-27.5 19 MHz) stations provide long distance, high seas communications. See CMRS Second Report and Order, 9 FCC Rcd at 1411. 20 47 U.S.C. § 322; 47 C.F.R. § 80.106. 21 47 C.F.R. § 80.153. 22 10 for non-commercial marine radio users. We also asked for comment on ways to increase the 16 efficient use of maritime radio spectrum and remove economic disincentives for coast and mobile station operators, while ensuring that the safety of life and property at sea is not adversely affected. We received twenty-two comments and seven reply comments to our proposals.
