Sec. 10.112  No-fee license for certain applicants.

    (a) For the purpose of this section, a no-fee license applicant is a 
person who is a volunteer, or part-time or full-time employee of an 
organization which is:
    (1) Charitable in nature;
    (2) Not for profit; and
    (3) Youth oriented.
    (b) An organization may submit a written request to Commanding 
Officer, U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center, 4200 Wilson 
Boulevard, Suite 630, Arlington, VA 22203-1804 in order to be considered 
an eligible organization under the criteria set forth in paragraph (a) 
of this section. With the written request, the organization must provide 
evidence of its status as a youth oriented, not for profit, charitable 
organization.

    Note: The following organizations are accepted by the Coast Guard as 
meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and need not 
submit evidence of their status: Boy Scouts of America, Sea Explorer 
Association, Girl Scouts of the United States of America, and Young 
Men's Christian Association of the United States of America.

    (c) A letter from an organization determined eligible under 
paragraph (b) of this section must also accompany the person's license 
application to the Coast Guard. The letter must state that the purpose 
of the person's application is solely to further the conduct of the 
organization's maritime activities. The applicant then is eligible under 
this section to obtain a no-fee license if other requirements for the 
license are met.
    (d) A marine license issued to a person under this section is 
endorsed restricting its use to vessels owned or operated by the 
sponsoring organization.
    (e) The holder of a no-fee license issued under this section may 
have the restriction removed by paying the appropriate evaluation, 
examination, and issuance fees that would have otherwise applied.
