The Commission must exempt certain vessels from this part's radio rules. This applies when a vessel's route or other conditions make a radio installation unreasonable, unnecessary, or ineffective. The exemption can cover one vessel or a whole class of vessels.

This section tells the Commission when it must let a vessel skip the radio rules in this part. The Commission has to grant this exemption for any vessel, or any class of vessels, if the vessel's route, the conditions of its voyage, or other conditions or circumstances make a radio installation unreasonable, unnecessary, or ineffective. The exemption applies for the purposes of this chapter — the broader radio-safety law this part belongs to.
