  • nautical miles of shore. Adding the INMARSAT Fleet F77 earth station to the list of acceptable earth stations would therefore facilitate the replacement of older, less efficient earth stations, while providing the maritime communitywith additional equipment options. The Commission will reference INMARSAT M and Fleet F77 earth stations, as well as INMARSAT A, B and C earth stations in Section 80.310of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 80.310, and will add IEC 61097-13 to Section 80.1101, 47 C.F.R. § 80.1101, as the applicable standard for the INMARSAT Fleet F77. The Commission declined to rewrite the rule to generally permit use in lieu of an SSBradio of anyearth station meeting IMO GMDSS and IEC certification requirements because it believed listing the specific

  • that a voluntary watch is unlikely to be routinely maintained in practice, and to provide for it in the Rules could therefore generate a false sense of security. Accordingly, we will amend Section 80.1123(d) to provide for a mandatory 2182 kHz watch, without specifying a sunset date for the requirement at this time. Watch Requirements for Voluntary Vessels Background. Section 80.310 sets forth the watch requirements for voluntary vessels. In the Notice, the Commission proposed to revise this section to require voluntary vessels not fitted with DSC to maintain a watch on Channel 16 when the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. The Commission further proposed to require voluntary vessels equipped with DSC to maintain

  • The Coast Guard requests that the Commission revise the Part 80 rules accordingly. We agree with the Coast Guard that we should now remove the 2005 sunset date from Sections 80.148, 80.305 and 80.1123 in the interest of maritime safety and conformity with international watch requirements. Voluntary Vessels The Channel 16 watch requirements for voluntary vessels are contained in Sections 80.310 and 80.1153 of the Commission's Rules. In the Report and Order, the Commission amended Section 80.310 to require voluntary vessels not fitted with DSC to maintain a watch on Channel 16 when the vessel is underway and the radio is not being used to communicate. However, the Commission inadvertently failed to amend Section 80.1153, which still requires only that a

  • testing of the equipment. Other Matters We take this opportunity to remove obsolete provisions and correct typographical errors in Part 80. These are non-controversial rule amendments that the Commission may adopt without notice and comment. Specifically, we remove obsolete provisions from Sections 80.205, 80.207, 80.209, and 80.375(d), remove obsolete references to Class A and Class B EPIRBs from Sections 80.15(e), 80.310, and 80.905(a)(3)(iii)(B), update the cross-reference in the Section 80.5 definition of ``navigable waters,'' conform the commercial radio operator license codes referenced in the Part 80 rules to the codes actually used for such licenses in the Commission's Universal Licensing System (ULS) database, and correct typographical errors in Sections 80.5, 80.371, 80.605, 80.373, and 80.1065. We also make minor changes to
