  § 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
   M.824-3  (incorporated  by  reference,  see  § 80.7).  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.

   (c) The use of ship station transponders in the band 2900-3100 or 9300-9500
   MHz  other  than  those described in § § 80.1085(a)(3) and 80.1095(b) is
   prohibited.
