  • (i) Section 80.373(f), which designates the three requested frequencies under consideration here for specific ship and private coast station uses, (ii) Section 80.105 regarding such stations' general obligations, and (iii) the technical requirements set forth in Part 80, Subpart E. Regarding the technical requirements, we note that Granite has requested a waiver of Sections 80.203 and 80.213 but not Sections 80.205, 80.211, and 80.215. We recognize, however, that Granite generally ``requests waiver of the [Part 80] regulations appropriate to permit private land mobile use of the spectrum consistent with the technical specifications set forth in [its] application.'' As a result, we consider, on our own motion, Granite's request for relief as including Sections 80.205, 80.211, and 80.215. The ``core purpose'' for
