    (b) Accept voluntary surrender of a license, certificate or 
document.
    (c) Accept voluntary deposit of a license, certificate or document.
    (d) Refer the case to others for further action. The investigating 
officer may refer the case to the Commandant or to an Officer in Charge, 
Marine Inspection, at any port for completion of administrative action 
if an adequate basis for action is found and the person under 
investigation and/or witnesses are not locally available.
    (e) Give a written warning. The investigating officer may give a 
warning to any person holding a license, certificate or document. 
Refusal to accept the written warning will normally result in a

warning will become a part of the person's record.
