Coast Guard 

[USCG–2004–17674] 

Craft Routinely Operated Dockside 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of policy. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard gives notice 

that, in accord with a recent Supreme 

Court decision, it will no longer inspect 

permanently moored craft or issue 

Certificates of Inspection to such craft 

unless a craft demonstrates that it is a 

vessel, capable of being used as a means 

of transportation on water. This notice 

discusses the implications of the 

Supreme Court decision and responds 

to comments received in response to a 

2004 notice that proposed a policy for 

permanently moored vessels. 

DATES: The policy announced in this 

notice is effective May 11, 2009. 

Inspection services will continue, with 

State concurrence, until May 11, 2011, 

for permanently moored craft that 

currently possess a Coast Guard-issued 

Certificate of Inspection, and that have 

been designed to Coast Guard 

regulations, and that may not be 

acceptable for regulation immediately 

by the State having jurisdiction. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and material 

received from the public, as well as 

documents mentioned in this preamble 

as being available in the docket, are part 

of docket USCG–2004–17674 and are 

available for inspection or copying at 

the Docket Management Facility, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, West 

Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 

1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590–0001, between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. You

the Coast Guard’s Office of Vessel 

Activities (CG–543), telephone 202–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This notice is issued under the 

authority of 46 U.S.C. 3306, which 

conveys authority to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security to implement the 

vessel inspection provisions of 46 

U.S.C. 3301. 

On June 21, 2004, the Coast Guard 

published a notice of proposed policy in 

the Federal Register (69 FR 34385), 

regarding the inspection of permanently 

moored vessels (PMVs). We proposed a 

policy of no longer issuing Certificates 

of Inspection (COI) to PMVs and no 

longer inspecting PMVs that currently 

have a COI, and invited public 

comments. In response, we received 

letters from 27 commenters, containing 

62 comments. 

While we were considering those 

public comments, the Supreme Court 

issued its decision in Stewart v. Dutra 

Construction Company, Inc., 543 U.S. 

481, 125 S.Ct. 1118 (2005). That case 

held that a dredge was a ‘‘vessel’’ under 

1 U.S.C. 3. The Court decided that 1 

U.S.C. 3 provides the defining criteria 

for determining what constitutes a 

vessel, wherever the U.S. Code refers to 

‘‘vessel’’ as a jurisdictional criterion. In 

determining whether a particular craft is 

also a vessel, the ‘‘question remains in 

all cases whether the watercraft’s use ‘as 

a means of transportation on water’ is a 

practical possibility or merely a 

theoretical one.’’ 543 U.S. at 496. 

The Supreme Court’s decision ended 

the prior situation, under which various 

circuit courts of appeal had applied 

different tests to determine whether a 

particular craft constituted a vessel, 

depending on the statute to be 

construed and the facts of the case. 

Under the prior situation, we attempted 

to apply the different tests so as to 

provide maximum flexibility in 

achieving the purpose of the particular 

statute being administered. After 

Stewart, however, it is clear that we 

must apply the single test of whether a 

craft is used, or is practically capable of 

being used, as a means of transportation 

on water. Stewart implies that a 

‘‘permanently moored vessel’’ is an 

oxymoron, since such a craft is neither 

used nor practically capable of being 

used as transportation on water, and 

therefore cannot be considered a vessel. 

Only a vessel can be inspected by the 

Coast Guard under the authority of 46 

U.S.C. 3301. Thus, in order to conform 

to Stewart, we have concluded that we 

will issue Certificates of Inspection to
