Sec. 66.01-55  Transfer of ownership.



    (a) When any private aid to navigation authorized by the District 

Commander, or the essential real estate or facility with which the aid 

is associated, is sold or transferred, both parties to the transaction 

shall submit application (Sec. 66.01-5) to the Commander of the Coast 

Guard District in which the aid is located requesting authority to 

transfer responsibility for maintenance of the aid.

    (b) The party relinquishing responsibility for maintenance of the 

private aid to navigation shall indicate on the application form (CG-

2554) both the discontinuance and the change of ownership of the aid 

sold or transferred.

    (c) The party accepting responsibility for maintenance of the 

private aid to navigation shall indicate on the application form (CG-

2554) both the establishment and the change of ownership of the aid sold 

or transferred.

    (d) In the event the new owner of the essential real estate or 

facility with which the aid is associated refuses to accept 

responsibility for maintenance of the aid, the former owner shall be 

required to remove the aid without expense to the United States. This 

requirement shall not apply in the case of any authorized private aid to 

navigation required by statute or regulation (Class I, Sec. 66.01-15) 

which shall be maintained by the new owner until the conditions which 

made the aid necessary have been eliminated.
