   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 169--SAILING SCHOOL VESSELS--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart 169.200--Inspection and Certification
 
Sec. 169.225  Annual inspection.

    (a) Your vessel must undergo an annual inspection within 3 months 
before or after each anniversary date, except as specified in 
Sec. 169.226.
    (b) You must contact the cognizant Officer in Charge, Marine 
Inspection to schedule an inspection at a time and place which he or she 
approves. No written application is required.
    (c) The scope of the annual inspection is the same as the inspection 
for certification as specified in Sec. 169.222 but in less detail unless 
the cognizant marine inspector finds deficiencies or determines that a 
major change has occurred since the last inspection. If deficiencies are 
found or a major change to the vessel has occurred, the marine inspector 
will conduct an inspection more detailed in scope to ensure that the 
vessel is in satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which it 
is intended. If your vessel passes the annual inspection, the marine 
inspector will

endorse your current Certificate of Inspection.
    (d) If the annual inspection reveals deficiencies in your vessel's 
maintenance, you must make any or all repairs or improvements within the 
time period specified by the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.
    (e) Nothing in this subpart limits the marine inspector from 
conducting such tests or inspections he or she deems necessary to be 
assured of the vessel's seaworthiness.
