PART 67_DOCUMENTATION OF VESSELS--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart E_Acceptable Title Evidence; Waiver
 
Sec. 67.91  Passage of title pursuant to operation of State law.

    When title to a documented vessel has passed by operation of State 
law for reasons other than those specified in this subpart, such passage 
must be established by:
    (a) A copy of the statute permitting transfer of title to the vessel 
and setting forth procedures to be followed in disposing of the vessel;
    (b) An affidavit from the party acting against the vessel, setting 
forth the basis for selling the vessel, and the steps taken to comply 
with the requirements of the statute under which title passes;
    (c) Evidence of substantial compliance with the relevant statute(s); 
and
    (d) A bill of sale which meets the criteria for filing and recording 
set forth in subpart P of this part from the acting party as agent for 
the owner(s) of record.

    Note: State law authorizing a marina to dispose of abandoned vessels 
is an example of passage of title by operation of law contemplated by 
Sec. 67.91.
