notified when a coast station, which is responsible for maintaining a 
listening watch on a designated marine distress and safety frequency 
discontinues, reduces, or impairs its communications services. This 
notification allows the Coast Guard to seek an alternate means of 
providing radio coverage to protect the safety of life and property at 
sea or object to the planned diminution of service. The information is 
used by the U.S. Coast Guard district office nearest to the coast 
station. Once the Coast Guard is aware that such a situation exists, it 
is able to inform the maritime community that radio coverage has or 
will be affected and/or seek to provide coverage of the safety watch 
via alternate means.
