for Information (RFI) notices published
in the Federal Register on February 8,
2021 (86 FR 8598) and March 17, 2021
(86 FR 14595), the SARSAT Program
sought the public’s views on the

Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force, and the
update of the Standards for 406 MHz

(PLBs) and 406 MHz Satellite
Emergency Position Indicating Radio
Beacons (EPIRBs), the US SARSAT
Program is authorizing the coding and
use of Return Link Service equipped
PLBs and EPIRBS beacons within the
United States Search and Rescue
Region. These RLS enabled beacons will
be legal for sale and use upon the
publishing of Radio Technical
Commission for Maritime services
11010.4 Standard for 406 MHz Satellite
Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs). Due to
the nature of their installation, RLS is
currently not authorized for use in
aviation Emergency Locator
Transmitters.
