Recommended Pilot Program. — The Office of 

 Technology Assessment suggests early imple- 

 mentation of a pilot program utilizing trans- 

 ponders in two specific regions — the Bering 

 Sea off the coast of Alaska and Georges Bank 



off the New England coast. Since each of these 

 areas is a traditional fishing ground, but with 

 very different prevailing conditions, the 

 usefulness of transponders could be evaluated 

 for a broad range of applications by this pilot 

 program. 



The pilot programs would require the 

 design and manufacture of Loran-C trans- 

 ponder equipment specifically for this pur-
