FCC rules require the use of the 506 to apply for a new or modified ship radio station license. The FCC-506A is used by the applicant to self certify to a temporary operating authority ship station license while the application is being processed by the FCC. The data is used to determine eligibility. This form may also be used for renewing a ship station license when the renewal application (FCC form 405B) automatically generated by the Commission is not received.
