Sec. 10.215  Modification or removal of limitations.

    (a) If an Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, is satisfied by the 
documentary evidence submitted that an applicant is entitled by 
experience, training, and knowledge to an endorsement or increase in the 
scope of any license held, any limitations which were previously placed 
upon the license by that OCMI may be changed. Such an increase in scope 
may include horsepower or tonnage limitations, or geographic route 
restrictions.
    (b) An OCMI may not change a limitation on any license which that 
office did not place thereon before full information regarding the 
reason for the limitation is obtained from the OCMI responsible for the 
limitation.
    (c) No limitation on any license may be changed before the applicant 
has made up any deficiency in the experience prescribed for the license 
or endorsement desired and passed any necessary examination.
