Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, if a vessel* exceeding the tonnage specified in paragraph (2) and documented or last documented under the laws of the United States is rebuilt outside the United States, the owner or master shall submit a report of the rebuilding to the Secretary.
The tonnage referred to in paragraph (1) is—
500 gross tons as measured under section 14502 of this title; or
an alternate tonnage as measured under section 14302 of this title as prescribed by the Secretary under section 14104 of this title.
