   (2) Coast station frequencies. The following table describes the exclusive
   maritime mobile HF frequency bands that are available for assignment to
   coast stations using 3 kHz channels for facsimile. However, any frequency in
   the 2000-27500 kHz bands listed in part 2 of the Commission's Rules as
   available for shared use by the maritime mobile service and other radio
   services, except for the 4000-4063 kHz and the 8100-8195 kHz bands, is

   (b) The frequencies in the 156-162 MHz band available for assignment to
   public coast stations that are contained in § 80.371(c) of this part are also
   available for facsimile communications between ship and coast stations using
   F2C or F3C emission.

   (c) The frequency 156.425 MHz is assigned by rule to private coast stations
