🔍 Key Concepts

• Certificate of Inspection (COI) application and renewal procedures for small passenger vessels (T-boats) under 46 CFR Subchapter T • Which Coast Guard forms are used for inspection applications vs. deficiency/violation notices • Timing and method of applying in writing for inspection or renewal

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you first apply for or renew a T-boat COI, what specific Coast Guard form number is normally associated with that written application? • Think about which listed form is actually used by marine inspectors to record deficiencies or require corrections, not to apply for inspection. • Consider whether the place where you haul out, or how often you haul out, has anything to do with the legal requirement to submit a written inspection application.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a specific Coast Guard application form related to inspection/COI for small passenger vessels. • Verify which form number is used by inspectors to issue a deficiency/requirement notice (not an application). • Confirm that the requirement in the question is about the format of the written application, not the location or frequency of haul-outs.
