                TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
 
   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 138--FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WATER POLLUTION (VESSELS)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 138.65  Issuance and carriage of Certificates.

    Upon the satisfactory demonstration of financial responsibility and 
payment of fees, the Director, NPFC, issues a Vessel Certificate of 
Financial Responsibility (Water Pollution), the original of which 
(except as provided in Sec.Sec. 138.90 (a) and (b) and 138.110(f)) is to 
be carried aboard the vessel covered by the Certificate. The carriage of 
a valid Certificate or authorized copy indicates compliance with these 
regulations. Failure to carry a valid Certificate or authorized copy 
subjects the vessel to enforcement action, except where a Certificate is 
removed temporarily from a vessel for inspection by a United States 
Government official.
