  • the USCG's respective proposals. We seek clarification of the parties' positions. Further, we seek comment on the Commission's authority to require public coast stations to conduct continuous safety watches, the economic impact of such a requirement on public coast stations, and the manner in which coast stations could relay distress communications to the USCG. Unattended Operations for Non-DSC Equipment Section 80.179 of our Rules permits DSC transmitters to operate unattended. Maritel, which operates both DSC and non-DSC equipment, has requested that we extend Section 80.179 to non-DSC equipment by allowing the unattended operation of such equipment so long as the licensee has the ability to remotely terminate operations of the transmitter. We are not persuaded by Maritel's proposal. We are concerned

  • in certain circumstances.'' With the benefit of this clarification, we encourage Maritel and other VPC licensees to engage in a dialogue with the USCG to determine how they can most expeditiously and effectively transfer DSC distress calls to the USCG, and otherwise provide appropriate assistance to the USCG when requested to do so. Unattended Operation of Non-DSC Equipment Background. Section 80.179 of the Commission's rules permits unattended operation of DSC transmitters at VPC stations. Maritel, which operates both DSC and non-DSC equipment, requested that we extend section 80.179 to non-DSC equipment by allowing the unattended operation of such equipment so long as the licensee has the ability to remotely terminate operations of the transmitter. The Commission stated in the FNPRM that
