Important Notice - Please Read Before Completing Registration
Registration is an important facet for all Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz emergency beacons. Not only is it required by Federal Regulations but
the information you furnish is used by Search And Rescue (SAR) agencies in the event of beacon activation. The registration information
is an important tool to assist the United States Coast Guard, United States Air Force, and other SAR agencies in locating and quickly
responding to you, your vessel, or your aircraft. Failure to register your beacon may delay a rescue response. Accurate, up-to-date
registration information will also be used to conserve resources by helping to eliminate false alert deployments, as an inadvertent
activation can be resolved with a phone call.
There is no charge for beacon registration. This is a service provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
All online registrations will be entered into the National 406 MHz Beacon Registration Database on the same day of entry.
Registration forms received via postal mail will be entered within 2 business days of receipt. For online registrations, a confirmation letter
with your completed registration information form will be sent immediately via e-mail or fax (if provided). Confirmation letters sent via
postal mail should arrive within two weeks. Once your registration confirmation is received, please review all information. Any changes
or updates to your registration information can be done via the internet, fax, e-mail or postal mail. If you do not receive your registration
confirmation from NOAA on the same day you submit it over the internet or within two weeks if you submit it by postal mail, please call
NOAA toll-free at: 1-888-212-SAVE (7283) or 301-817-4515 for assistance.
After initial registration (or re-registration) you will receive a NOAA Proof of Registration Decal by postal mail. This decal is to be
affixed to the beacon and should be placed in such a way that it is clearly visible. If for some reason you do not receive the registration
decal within two weeks, please-6 call NOAA toll-free at: 1-888-212-SAVE (7283) or 301-817-4515.
Failure to register, re-register (as required every two years), or to notify NOAA of any changes to the status of your 406 MHz beacon
could result in penalties and/or fines being issued under Federal Law. The owner or user of the beacon is required to notify NOAA of any
changes to the registration information at any time. By submitting this registration the owner, operator, or legally authorized agent
declares under penalty of law that all information in the registration information is true, accurate, and complete. Providing information
that is knowingly false or inaccurate may be punishable under Federal Statutes. Solicitation of this information is authorized by Title 47 -
Parts 80, 87, and 95 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Additional registration forms can be found on the NOAA-SARSAT
website at:
www.sarsat.noaa.gov or at: www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov.
Please note, NOAA will complement or update your registration information accordingly if your registration has expired and credible
information is provided from SAR sources. NOAA will also seek information from other databases to update and/or complement the
existing information for an expired beacon registration. Although the information provided will become a matter of public record, there is
no intent to circulate beyond its intended purpose, i.e., to assist SAR agencies in carrying out their mission. Public reporting burden for
the collection of this information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Comments regarding this burden or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden should be sent to:
NOAA/SARSAT
NSOF, E/SP3
4231 Suitland Road
Suitland, MD 20746
Or, fax the signed form to NOAA at 301-817-4565.
If you have any questions or comments pertaining to beacon registration, please call 301-817-4515 or toll-free at 1-888-212-SAVE
(7283).
Or you may e-mail your question to the Sarsat Webmaster
: [email protected]
Finally, false alerts remain a chief concern for SAR agencies. We ask that you carefully refer to the beacon’s user manual for instructions
on properly operating, installing, testing, performing required maintenance, and/or stowage of your beacon. We find that these are
important factors in reducing the number of false alerts. Please use the utmost care at all times!
