This section provides FCC equipment-certification relief for qualifying redocumented vessels.
Existing telecommunications and electronic equipment on a vessel* redocumented under United States* law for this chapter is treated as meeting FCC certification requirements if (1) it complies with applicable international agreements and guidelines as determined by its prior documenting country, (2) that country has not been identified by the Coast Guard department Secretary* as inadequately enforcing international rules for the vessel, and (3) it will be replaced at the end of its useful life with FCC-standard equipment.
The telecommunications and other electronic equipment on an existing vessel* that is redocumented under the laws of the United States* for operation under an Operating Agreement* under this chapter shall be deemed to satisfy all Federal Communication Commission equipment certification requirements, if—
