  §  80.605   U.S. Coast Guard coordination.

   (a) Radionavigation coast stations operated to provide information to
   aid in the movement of any ship are private aids to navigation. Before
   submitting an application for a radionavigation station, an applicant
   must obtain written permission from the cognizant Coast Guard District
   Commander at the area in which the device will be located. The
   Commission may request an applicant to provide documentation as to this
   fact. Note: Surveillance radar coast stations do not require U.S. Coast
   Guard approval.

   (b) Coast station transponders ( i.e., radar beacons, or racons)
   operating in the band 2900–3100 or 9300–9500 MHz shall meet the
   requirements of ITU-R Recommendation M.824–2, “Technical Parameters of
   Radar Beacons (RACONS),” with Annexes, 1995. Applications for
   certification of these transponders must include a description of the
   technical characteristics of the equipment including the scheme of
   interrogation and the characteristics of the transponder response, and
   test results demonstrating the device meets each applicable requirement
   of this ITU-R recommendation. ITU-R Recommendation M.824–2 with Annexes
   is incorporated by reference. The Director of the Federal Register
   approves this incorporation by reference in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
   552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies of this standard can be inspected at
   the Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington,

   (c) The use of ship station transponders in the band 2900–3100 or
   9300–9500 MHz other than those described in § § 80.1065(a)(3) and
