Section 3317 provides the regulatory authority for prescribing
fees for the inspection of small passenger vessels and sailing
school vessels. Although section 2110 generally prohibits fees of
this nature, this provision is consistent with the exception that
permits specific statutory authorization for fee collection.
Subsection (b) requires the reimbursement of expenses for the
conduct of an inspection or examination at a foreign port or place
when done there for the convenience of the owner or operator of the
vessel.
AMENDMENTS
1992 - Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102-587 substituted "under this part
of a documented vessel or a foreign vessel" for "under this chapter
of a documented vessel".
