in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Coast Guard Commandant must write regulations limiting how long tow lines and tows can be. These rules apply on inland waters that the government has designated under section 151. The regulations carry the full force of law.

The Commandant of the Coast Guard must prepare regulations that limit two things: the length of hawsers (tow lines) between towing vessels and seagoing barges being towed, and the length of the tows themselves. These limits apply within the inland waters of the United States that have been designated and defined under section 151 of this title. Once issued, these regulations have the same force as law.
