46 U.S.C. § 51510 — Deferment of service obligation under student incentive payment agreements
submitted 20 years ago by Pub. L. 109-304 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 83 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary of Transportation may delay a student's service obligation for up to 2 years. This applies only if the student is in an approved graduate program. Delaying active-duty officer service also needs approval from that military branch's own Secretary.
The Secretary of Transportation may defer, for up to 2 years, the service commitment a student owes under section 51509(d)(5) if the student is pursuing a graduate course of study the Secretary approves. But deferring active-duty service as a commissioned officer needs separate approval from the Secretary of the relevant military department, or from the Secretary of Commerce for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration service.
The Secretary of Transportation may defer the service commitment of an individual under section 51509(d)(5) of this title (as specified in the agreement under section 51509) for not more than 2 years if the individual is engaged in a graduate course of study approved by the Secretary. However, deferment of service as a commissioned officer on active duty must be approved by the Secretary of the affected military department (or the Secretary of Commerce, for service with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
