Important Notice - Please Read Before Completing Registration
The information you furnish is mandatory and is intended to assist search and rescue teams in locating you or your craft in
the event of beacon activation. The information will be provided to the United States Coast Guard, United States Air Force,
and other Search and Rescue (SAR) teams as appropriate in the event of beacon activation. It will also be used to
conserve SAR resources by helping to eliminate false alert deployments, as an inadvertent activation can be resolved with
a phone call.
Failure to register, re-register, or to notify NOAA of a change in the status for a 406 MHz beacon could result in penalties
and/or fines being issued to the owner.
An owner is required to notify NOAA of any changes to the registration
information. Please note, NOAA will complement or update the datebase accordingly when a beacon owner's registration
expires 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 a beacon registration. Solicitation of this information is authorized
by Parts 80 and 87, Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
There is no charge for beacon registration. This is a service provided by the U.S. Government.
All online registrations will be entered into the National 406 MHz Beacon Registration Database on the same day of entry.
Registration forms received via the postal mail service will be entered into the National 406 MHz Beacon Registration
Database within 2 business days of receipt. For online registrations, a letter with an attached registration information sheet
will be sent immediately via e-mail or fax (if provided), or via postal mail 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 301-457-5678 for assistance.
After initial registration (or re-registration) you will receive a NOAA Proof of Registration Decal by postal mail. It is required
that you affix the registration decal to your beacon. If for some reason you do not receive the registration decal within two
weeks, please call NOAA toll-free at: 1-888-212-SAVE (7283) or 301-457-5678, for assistance. Additional registration
forms can be found on the NOAA SARSAT website at: www.sarsat.noaa.gov or at: www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov.
Although the information provided will become a matter of public record, there is no intent to circulate the data furnished
beyond its intended purpose, i.e., to assist SAR forces in carrying out their mission of rescue assistance and false alert
abatement. 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, gathering and maintaining the data needed,
and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden should be sent to:
