                 Subpart 91.01_Certificate of Inspection

 

Sec.  91.01-10  Period of validity for a Certificate of Inspection.



    (a) Certificates of inspection will be issued for a period of 5 

years. Application may be made by the master, owner, or agent for 

inspection and issuance of a new certificate of inspection at any time 

during the period of validity of the current certificate.

    (b) Certificates of inspection may be revoked or suspended by the 

Coast Guard where such process is authorized by law. This may occur if 

the vessel does not meet the requirements of law or regulations in this 

chapter or if there is a failure to maintain the safety requirements 

requisite to the issuance of a certificate of inspection.

    (c)(1) In the case of the following vessels, modification of the 

period of validity of the certificate of inspection will be permitted as 

set forth in this paragraph:

    (i) Nonself-propelled vessels of 100 gross tons and over proceeding 

on the high seas or ocean for the sole purpose of changing place of 

employment.

    (ii) Nonself-propelled vessels of 100 gross tons and over making 

rare or infrequent voyages on the high seas or ocean and returning to 

the port of departure.

    (2) The certificate of inspection may be issued for a specific 

period of time to cover a described situation or for one voyage only but 

in no case to exceed 5 years. The certificate of inspection will include 

the conditions under which the vessel must operate. Unless the vessel is 

in compliance with this Subchapter insofar as it applies to seagoing 

barges of 100 gross tons and over, such vessel shall not carry any 

person on board while underway, and the certificate of inspection will 

be endorsed as an unmanned seagoing barge.
