The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
announces the discontinuance of its
remaining 38 maritime Differential
Global Positioning System (DGPS) sites.
The USCG will implement the closures
through a phased reduction in service,
which will commence in September of
2018, and conclude by September of
2020. These closures will culminate in
the complete cessation of the
Nationwide Differential Global
Positioning System (NDGPS) service.
This notice provides the general
schedule for the discontinuance of the
remaining maritime DGPS sites. Specific
site broadcast termination dates will be
published via local notices to mariners
(LNMs).

Background and Purpose
The Maritime Differential GPS system
was established in the late 1980s to
augment the existing GPS signal with
accuracy corrections and integrity
monitoring. This augmentation signal
was broadcast over Medium Frequency
from terrestrial broadcast sites. At the
time, the publicly available GPS signal
was intentionally degraded through
Selective Availability (SA), and thus
augmentation was necessary to meet
minimum requirements for maritime
positioning and navigation. Selective
Availability was permanently
discontinued in 2000, and as system
technology has improved, observed
positional accuracy for un-augmented
GPS consistently meets requirements for
harbor/harbor-approach navigation on
modern GPS receivers.
On July 5, 2016, the USCG, the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT),
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) published a notice in the
Federal Register (81 FR 43613), which
announced that the Nationwide
Differential Global Positioning System
(NDGPS) would remain operational
with a total of 46 USCG and USACE
sites available to users in the maritime
and coastal regions. Since 2016, the
USACE has discontinued 7 sites, and
the USCG has discontinued 1 site in
Aransas, TX due to storm damage from
Hurricane Harvey. Currently, there are
only 38 remaining NDGPS sites, all of
which are maritime sites.
Discussion
The USCG has continued assessments
and outreach affirming that the
positional accuracy provided by unaugmented GPS and GPS augmented by
the U.S. Wide Area Augmentation
System (WAAS) is sufficient to meet its
mission requirements and navigational
safety requirements for harbor
approaches. Because there is no
regulatory requirement for the carriage
of Differential Global Positioning
System (DGPS) equipment, and other
GPS augmentation systems such as
WAAS are already in prevalent use by
marine navigation equipment, the USCG
cannot justify further investment to
upgrade and maintain the NDGPS
system. Additionally, the Coast Guard
no longer has a mission requirement for
DGPS to position Maritime Aids to
Navigation because current Coast Guard
policy allows the placement of aids to
navigation with un-augmented GPS or
GPS augmented by WAAS. Finally,
other government and commercial
augmentation systems (e.g. WAAS) are
readily available to provide GPS
accuracy corrections. For these reasons,
