Coast station assignments in the 4000-4063 kHz band deviate from international provisions. Coast station assignments in the 4000-4063 kHz band are permitted provided that such stations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, stations operated by other countries in accordance with the Radio Regulations.

(a) Frequencies in the 4000-4063 kHz band. (1) The frequencies in the 4000-4063 kHz bands are available to ship and public coast stations for:
