SAR is a responsibility of the Govt. They don't charge for it and I doubt they could due to their international obligation to provide SAR. I also doubt that 5 missed SARTIMES per day (the ones passed to JRCC) result in SAR action. In fact the only time I've heard of SAR action being taken for a missed SARTIME was for a genuine missing aircraft.
Another beatup.
