46 CFR Ch. I (10–1–14 Edition)

(Small Passenger Vessels), and subchapter U (Oceanographic Research
Vessels), of this chapter.
(2) For vessels other than passenger
vessels, you must contact the local office of the Federal Communications
Commission to apply for the inspection
concerning the issuance of a Cargo
Ship Safety Radio Certificate.
(c) Certificates issued. (1) If a vessel
meets the applicable requirements of
the Convention, it shall be issued appropriate certificates listed in paragraph (a) of this section. These certificates describe the vessel and state the
vessel is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Convention.
(2) A Convention certificate may be
withdrawn, revoked or suspended at
any time when it is determined the
vessel is no longer in compliance with
applicable requirements. (See § 2.01–70
for appeal procedures.)
(d) CG-969—Notice of Receipt of Application for Passenger Ship Safety Certificate. (1) The Passenger Ship Safety Certificate is issued by the Commandant
after determining all applicable requirements of the Convention have
been met. In the event the completion
of the certification of any passenger
vessel cannot be effected prior to the
sailing of the passenger ship on a foreign voyage, or in any case where the
Passenger Ship Safety Certificate is
not received from the Commandant before the ship sails on a foreign voyage,
the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, will issue a completed Form CG969, describing the passenger ship and
certifying that an application for a
Passenger Ship Safety Certificate is
being processed, and that in his opinion
the vessel meets applicable requirements of the Convention administered
by the Coast Guard.
(2) The completed Form CG-969 may
be exhibited in explanation of the failure of the passenger ship to have on
board a current Passenger Ship Safety
Certificate. This completed form CG969 may be accepted as prima facie evidence that the passenger ship described
therein is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Convention.
(e) Exempted vessel. (1) A vessel may
be exempted by the Commandant from
complying with certain requirements
of the Convention under his adminis-

tration upon request made in writing
to him and transmitted via the Officer
in Charge, Marine Inspection. In such
case the exemptions are stated in the
Exemption Certificate, which is issued
by the Commandant through the appropriate Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.
(2) The Federal Communications
Commission issues the Exemption Certificate, which modifies the Cargo Ship
Safety Radio Certificate.
(f) Availability of Certificates. The Convention certificates must be on board
the vessel and readily available for examination at all times.
(g) Foreign flag vessels. At the request
of the government of a country in
which is registered a vessel engaged in
an international voyage, such a vessel
may be issued the applicable certificate or certificates listed in paragraph
(a) of this section. The certificate will
be issued only after inspection has been
made by the issuing agency, providing
the vessel is found to comply with the
requirements of the Convention.
