This law lets the Secretary of Transportation approve certain vessel-related acts either without conditions or with conditions attached. Any approval conditions must be spelled out in the written notice of approval, and breaking a condition brings the same penalties as acting without approval at all.

(a) In General. When the Secretary of Transportation approves an act or transaction under section 56101 or 56102, the Secretary can approve it either with no strings attached, or with whatever conditions the Secretary thinks are wise. The Secretary must write those conditions into the notice of approval. (b) Violations. Breaking one of these conditions carries the same penalties as doing the act without ever getting approval. The violation is treated as happening at the exact moment the condition is broken.
