              Subpart 169.200_Inspection and Certification
 
Sec. 169.226  Periodic inspection.

    (a) Your vessel must undergo a periodic inspection within 3 months 
before or after the second or third anniversary of the date of your 
vessel's Certificate of Inspection. This periodic inspection will take 
the place of an annual inspection.
    (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 periodic inspection is the same as that for the 
inspection for certification, as specified in Sec. 169.222. The Officer 
in Charge, Marine Inspection will insure that the vessel is in 
satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which it is intended. 
If your vessel passes the periodic inspection, the marine inspector will 
endorse your current Certificate of Inspection.
    (d) If the periodic 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.
