    (a) The licensee of any land station in the Aviation services, 
during a local emergency involving the safety of life and property may

locations or with equipment not specified in the license or by 
unlicensed personnel provided that:
    (1) Such operations are under the control and supervision of the 
station licensee,

termination of the emergency,
    (3) In no event shall any station transmit on frequencies other than 
or with power in excess of that specified in the license,
    (4) The details of the emergency must be retained with the station 
license, and
    (5) At a controlled airport these communications must be coordinated 
with the FAA.
    (b) The unicom frequencies listed in subpart G may also be used for 
communications with private aircraft engaged in organized civil defense 
activities in preparation for, during an enemy attack or immediately 
after an enemy attack. When used for these purposes, unicoms may be 
moved from place to place or operated at unspecified locations, except 
at landing areas served by other unicoms or control towers.
    (c) In any case in which a license for unattended operation has been 
granted, the Commission may at any time, for national defense, modify 
the license.
