Sec. 80.405  Station license.

    (a) Requirement. Stations must have an authorization granted by the 
Federal Communications Commission.
    (b) Application. Application for authorizations in the maritime 
services must be submitted on the prescribed forms in accordance with 
subpart B of this part.
    (c) Posting. The current station authorization or a clearly legible 
copy must be posted at the principal control point of each station. If a 
copy is posted, it must indicate the location of the original. When the 
station license cannot be posted as in the case of a marine utility 
station operating at temporary unspecified locations or the ship or 
recreational boat does not have an enclosed wheelhouse, it must be kept 
where it will be readily available for inspection. The licensee of a 
station on board a ship subject to Part II or III of Title III of the 
Communications Act or the Safety Convention must retain the most 
recently expired ship station license in the station records until the 
first Commission inspection after the expiration date.
