(a) Revocations.—After notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the Secretary of Transportation may revoke a designation of a vessel as an American Great Lakes vessel if the Secretary finds that—(1) the vessel does not meet a requirement for the designation; (2) the vessel has been operated in violation of this subchapter; or (3) the owner or operator of the vessel has violated an agreement made under section 55332(b) of this title.
