Sec. 176.120  Certificate of Inspection amendment.

    (a) An amended Certificate of Inspection may be issued at any time 
by any OCMI. The amended Certificate of Inspection replaces the 
original, but the expiration date remains the same as that of the 
original. An amended Certificate of Inspection may be issued to 
authorize and record a change in the dimensions, gross tonnage, owner, 
managing operator, manning, persons permitted, route permitted, 
conditions of operations, or equipment of a vessel, from that specified 
in the current Certificate of Inspection.
    (b) A request for an amended Certificate of Inspection must be made 
to the cognizant OCMI by the owner or managing operator of the vessel at 
any time there is a change in the character of a vessel or in its route, 
equipment, ownership, operation, or similar factors specified in its 
current Certificate of Inspection.
    (c) The OCMI may require an inspection prior to the issuance of an 
amended Certificate of Inspection.
