  • local search and rescue authorities. The Coast Guard, which is responsible for search and rescue operations at sea and on inland waterways in the United States, monitors VHF Channel 16 for these distress messages. Currently, the Commission requires site-based as well as geographic area VPC licensees to maintain a continuous safety watch on VHF Channel 16 unless exempted. Under Section 80.303(b), a VPC licensee is exempted if a federal, state, or local government station maintains such a watch over 95 percent of the VPC licensee's service area. Maritel suggests that the Commission amend its regulations so that geographic area VPC licensees are required to maintain a Channel 16 safety watch only (1) after the licensee's construction requirement has passed or a

The Coast Guard also argues that MariTEL does not adequately explain how it anticipates meeting its Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) safety watch requirements, see 47 C.F.R. § 80.303, while operating its proposed new network. Coast Guard Comments at 6. While we are not conditionally granting MariTEL's extension request on its explanation of how it plans to comply with Section 80.303, we nevertheless expect, and MariTEL has represented, see Reply Comments at 3 n.5, 7-9, that it will comply with all applicable regulatory obligations, including but not limited to

  • distress calls without any manual intervention.'' The Commission sought comment on its tentative determination to reject Maritel's proposal to permit unattended operation of non-DSC equipment. Discussion. On further review, we conclude that our rules already permit VPC stations to engage in 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

MariTEL also states that NTIA/USCG's opposition to this proposal is based on an unwarranted concern that it would reduce the spectrum available for maritime service, and on the false premise that VPC licensees currently are required to provide public correspondence services to
