According to:

  http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Regulatory/47%20CFR%20Part%2097%20-%20January%202014.pdf

pertaining to allowed data modes on the 80m band:

"(3) Only a RTTY or data emission using a specified digital code listed in §97.309(a) of this part may be transmitted. The symbol rate must not exceed 300 bauds, or for frequency-shift keying, the frequency shift between mark and space must not exceed 1 kHz."

See sections 97.305(c), 97.307(f)(3), 97.309(a)(1).

We'll be running Baudot at 45.5 baud with 0.85 kHz shift, so we're good to go!
