  • Commission proposed to this provision was to add a reference to DSC.

  • of the Rules to reflect the redesignation of Channels 75 and 76, but neglected to also modify the table of frequencies in Section 80.871(d) of the Rules. As a consequence, Section 80.871(d) still indicates that Channels 75 and 76 are guard bands. We rectify that omission here, and modify the table of frequencies accordingly. General small passenger vessel exemptions. Section 80.933 of the Commission's Rules exempts certain classes of small passenger vessels from specified equipment requirements.
