Sec. 783.41  ``Numbered'' vessel.

    A vessel ``numbered under the laws of the United States'' means a 
vessel numbered pursuant to the provisions of Federal law, including 
vessels numbered under any State numbering system approved by the 
Secretary of the Department under which the U.S. Coast Guard is 
operating, in accordance with section 2(c) of the Federal Boating Act of 
1958 (46 U.S.C. 527-527h). Generally, any vessel, which is not required 
to have and does not have, a valid marine document issued by the Bureau 
of Customs and is propelled by machinery of more than 10 horsepower, 
whether or not such machinery is the principal source of propulsion, is 
required to be numbered in conformity with the Federal Boating Act of 
1958 if it uses the navigable waters of the United States, its 
Territories, or the District of Columbia, or is owned in a State and 
uses the high seas (46 U.S.C. 527(a)). The requirements and procedures 
of this Act are explained in detail in 46 CFR part 170.
