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’.

- 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 vessels in distress. Vessels requiring an MMSI that do not require an FCC license should register their vessel
with a private registration agent - https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/maritime-mobile/ship-radio-stations/maritimemobile.
Type of License
Item 4 Enter the appropriate letter for the type of authorization desired.

this request is for a portable VHF handheld, please refer to Public Notice DA 22-1065 for additional instructions.
Enter ‘F’ if the type of license is fleet (several vessels will each have transmitters that operate in similar frequency
bands and are to be licensed under one authorization). If the type of license is a fleet, also enter the number of ships
in the fleet. NOTE: Fleet authorizations are not assigned MMSIs. If the vessel(s) has Digital Selective Calling (DSC) or
Automatic Identification System (AIS) equipment, then an individual ship station license is required. If you proceed with
