Section 71.65-1 - General(a) The list of required plans is general in character, but includes all plans in § 71.65-5 which normally show construction and safety features coming under the cognizance of the Coast Guard. In the case of a particular vessel, all of the plans enumerated may not be applicable, and it is intended that only those plans and specifications be submitted as will clearly show the vessel's arrangement, construction and required equipment.(b) In the list of required plans in § 71.65-5 the items which must be approved by the American Bureau of Shipping for vessels classed by that organization are indicated by an asterisk. When prints bearing record of such approval by the American Bureau of Shipping are forwarded to the Coast Guard they will in general be accepted as satisfactory except insofar as the law or the Coast Guard regulations contain requirements which are not covered by the American Bureau of Shipping.(c) Plans and specifications for cargo gear shall be approved by either a recognized classification society or the International Cargo Gear Bureau, Inc., whose home office is located at 481 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10001 on the Internet at http://www.icgb.com.CGFR 65-50, 30 FR 16895, Dec. 30, 1965, as amended by CGD 95-028, 62 FR 51204, Sept. 30, 1997; USCG-2008-0906, 73 FR 56510 , Sept. 29, 2008; USCG-2021-0348, 87 FR 3224 , Jan. 21, 2022 USCG-2021-0348, 87 FR 3224, 1/21/2022
