This section describes the radiotelephony working frequencies
assignable to ship and public coast stations.
(a) Working frequencies in the 2000-4000 kHz band. The following
table describes the working carrier frequency pairs in the 2000-4000 kHz
band.

\1\ Unlimited hours of use from December 15 to April 1 and day only from
April 1 to December 15. Harmful interference must not be caused to any
ship station in the Great Lakes region.
\2\ In the Great Lakes region 2206 kHz is not available for transmission
to U.S. ships except in the case of distress. U.S. coast stations in
the Great Lakes area may use 2514, 2550 and 2582 kHz on a shared basis
with coast stations of Canada. Except in the case of distress, the
frequency 2550 kHz must not be used for transmission to ship stations
of Canada since the associated ship station transmit frequency 2158
kHz is not available to Canadian ship stations for transmission and
2582 kHz must not be used for public correspondence transmissions to
U.S. ship stations since the associated ship transmit frequency 2206
kHz is not available to U.S. ship stations for transmissions except in
the case of distress.
\3\ Limited to a peak envelope power of 150 watts.
(b) Working frequencies in the 4000-25700 kHz band. This paragraph
describes the working carrier frequencies in the 4000-27500 kHz band.
(1) The following table specifies the carrier frequencies available
for assignment to public coast stations. The paired ship frequencies are
available for use by authorized ship stations.

(2) The following table specifies the additional carrier frequencies
available for assignment to public coast stations for public
correspondence. The paired ship frequencies are available for use by
authorized ship stations. The specific frequency assignment available to
public coast stations for a particular geographic area is indicated by
an ``x'' under the appropriate column. Table B is based on the initial
Appendix 25 Allotment Arrangement published by the International
Frequency Registration Board (IFRB) (see IFRB Circular-letter No. 836,
dated September 28, 1990). The allotment areas are in accordance with
the ``Standard Defined Areas'' as identified in the Appendix 25 Planning
System and indicated in the Preface to the International Frequency List
(IFL) (see IFRB Circular-letter No. 843, dated October 31, 1990).

(3) The following table specifies the non-paired carrier frequencies
that are available for assignment to public coast stations for simplex
operations subject to the provision of paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
These frequencies are available for use by authorized ship stations for
transmissions to coast stations (simplex operations). Assignments on
these frequencies must accept interference. They are shared with
government users and are considered ``common use'' frequencies under the
international Radio Regulations. They cannot be notified for inclusion
in the Master International Frequency Register, which provides stations
with interference protection, but may be listed in the international
List of Coast Stations. (See Radio Regulation No. 1220 and
Recommendation 304.)

\1\ Coast stations limited to a maximum transmitter power of 1 kW (PEP).
(4) Applicants for these public coast frequencies specified in this
section must submit a substantial showing of need based on the following
factors:
(i) A schedule of each currently licensed working frequency in the
4000-27500 kHz band and the expected use of the proposed frequencies;
(ii) For additional frequencies within the same MHz band, a factual
showing of the 3 busiest hours of any 4 days within a consecutive 10 day
period for each of the 2 months immediately preceding the filing of the
application indicating that the applicant has used its
[[Page 95]]
currently assigned frequencies within the same MHz band an aggregate
average of at least 40% of the 3 busiest hours of each day for
exchanging communications;
(iii) Any other facts that support the need for the proposed
assignment, e.g., evidence of radio interference by another station
located near enough to render a currently licensed frequency
substantially unusable; and
(iv) For simplex frequencies listed in paragraph (b)(3) of this
section, an additional showing supporting the use of simplex rather than
duplex frequencies for the proposed situation.
(c) Working frequencies in the marine VHF 156-162 MHz band. The
frequency pairs listed in the table below are available for assignment
to public coast stations for public correspondence communications with
ship stations and units on land.

\1\ For special assignment of frequencies in this band in certain areas
of Washington State, the Great Lakes and the east coast of the United
States pursuant to arrangements between the United States and Canada,
see subpart B of this part.
\2\ The frequency pair 157.275/161.875 MHz is available for assignment
on a primary basis to ship and public coast stations. In Alaska it is
also available on a secondary basis to private mobile repeater
stations.
\3\ Within 120 km (75 miles) of the United States/Canada border, in the
area of the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its
approaches, the frequency 157.925 MHz is available for use by ship
stations for public correspondence communications only. One hundred
twenty kilometers (75 miles) from the United States/Canada border
157.425 MHz is available for intership and commercial communications.
Outside the Puget Sound area and its approaches and the Great Lakes,
157.425 MHz is available for communications between commercial fishing
vessels and associated aircraft while engaged in commercial fishing
activities.
\4\ Except for the frequency pair 157.425/162.025 MHz, these frequencies
may be shared with stations in the private land mobile radio service,
within the 48 contiguous states, under the terms of operation
described in Sec. 90.283 of this chapter.
(d) Working frequencies in the Mississippi River System. The
Mississippi River System includes the Mississippi River and connecting
navigable waters other than the Great Lakes. The following simplex
frequencies are available for assignment to public coast stations
serving the Mississippi River System for radiotelephony communications.
These simplex frequencies also are available for use by authorized ship
stations within communication service range, whether or not the ship is
operating within the confines of the Mississippi River System.
