Instructions for Schedule for Additional Data

for the Ship Radio Service (Part 80)

Form FCC 605, Schedule B, is a supplementary schedule for use with the FCC Quick-Form Application for Authorization in the Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Operator, and the General Mobile Radio Services, FCC 605 Main Form. This schedule is used to supply information for Ship Radio Service (Part 80). The FCC 605 Main Form must be filed in conjunction with this schedule.

Schedule B

Instructions

You must obtain an FCC Ship Radio Station License if you answer ‘Y’ to any of the following questions. You must answer ‘Y’ or ‘N’ to each item.

Item 1 Enter ‘Y’ if you are required by law or treaty to carry a radio on your vessel. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Item 2 Enter ‘Y’ if your vessel travels to foreign ports. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

Item 3 Enter ‘Y’ if you have marine radio equipment on board your vessel other than marine VHF radios, EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), and radar. Otherwise, enter ‘N’.

NOTE: If you answered ‘N’ to Item 1, Item 2, and Item 3, you are not required to obtain a license

- you do not need to file this form with the FCC.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: If a ship license is not required, and you choose not to renew, the emergency information used to identify a ship in distress will become inactive and not maintained by the FCC. Correct ship station information is vital for emergency purposes, making it easier to identify and find boats in distress. If you were previously issued a Maritime Mobile Ship Identity (MMSI) by the FCC for a DSC radio, you may update your ship station information with Boat U.S. free of charge using the FCC-issued MMSI unless the FCC-issued MMSI ends in 3 zeros.
