When preparing to terminate a patrol, does the coxswain notify the OPCON that they are terminating the patrol or does (s)he request permission to terminate the patrol?

Auxiliarists conduct patrols subject to orders issued be a Coast Guard Command Authority.  If the coxswain conducts the patrol according to the orders then he or she shall notify the order issuing authority of the commencement and termination of the patrol.  If the coxswain determines that there is a need or desire to deviate from the orders, then he or she shall request authorization from the order issuing authority.
