(a) The holder of a credential may not voluntarily part with it or place it beyond their personal control by pledging or depositing it with any other person, except as required by regulation or as necessary to safeguard the credential. If the holder violates this section, the Coast Guard may pursue suspension or revocation of the MMC under the provisions of part 5 of this chapter.
(b) Whenever a mariner loses a credential, they must immediately report the loss to the Coast Guard. The report must be made in writing and provided in a manner specified by the Coast Guard, giving the facts incident to its loss.
(c) Invalid or expired credentials must be returned to the Coast Guard. Upon written request, the Coast Guard will return the cancelled credential to the mariner.
