PART 50_GENERAL PROVISIONS--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart 50.20_Plan Submittal and Approval
 
Sec. 50.20-5  Procedures for submittal of plans.

    (a) As the relative locations of shipyards, design offices, and 
Coast Guard offices vary throughout the country, no specific routing 
will be required in the submittal of plans. In general, one of the 
procedures outlined in this section apply, but if a more expeditious 
procedure can be used, there will normally be no objection to it.
    (b) The plans may be submitted in duplicate to the Officer in 
Charge, Marine Inspection, at or nearest the place where the vessel is 
to be built. Alternatively, the plans may be submitted in triplicate to 
the Marine Safety Center.
    (c) In the case of classed vessels, upon specific request by the 
submitter, the American Bureau of Shipping will arrange to forward the 
necessary plans to the Coast Guard indicating its action thereon. In 
this case, the plans will be returned directly to the submitter as noted 
in paragraph (c) of this section.
