Sec. 64.33  Marking by the Coast Guard.



    (a) The District Commander may mark for the protection of maritime 

navigation any structure, sunken vessel or other obstruction that is not 

suitably marked by the owner. Markings established by the Coast Guard do 

not relieve the owner's duty or responsibility to mark the sunken vessel 

or other obstruction, or to remove it as required by law.

    (b) Costs for markings established by the Coast Guard will be 

determined in accordance with part 74 of this Chapter.

    (c) Costs for marking of a sunken vessel or other obstruction shall 

be charged to the owner and shall continue until:

    (1) The vessel or other obstruction is removed;

    (2) The right of the owner to abandon is legally established and has 

been exercised; or

    (3) The District Commander directs otherwise.



    Note: When the needs of navigation permit, the owner may be given 

reasonable opportunity to establish and maintain the necessary markings.
