Currently, the FCC and 17 private entities which have been approved by the FCC to perform this function. xInternational telecommunications settlements for maritime radio involve the collection and payment of charges due foreign administrations from messages transmitted at sea by or between maritime mobile and maritime mobilesatellite stations located on board ships subject to U.S. registry and utilizing foreign coast and earthstation facilities. The entities that perform this settlement function are referred to as accounting authorities. Historically, most countries have required individual ships to settle their own accounts with foreign administrations and coast stations. In the United States, however, the U.S. Government has served as a nationwide accounting authority for settling maritime mobile service message charges since 1913 and, more recently, for maritime satellite service messages. Today, maritime mobile radio services only account for about six per cent of the FCC's clearinghouse functions. Satellitebased services, including aeronautical and handheld terminals, now account for 94 percent of the FCC's activity.  Yr-x The proposed changes will strengthen the system of private accounting authorities the Commission has created over the years and allow them to become more competitive.
