# §850.3. Relationship to Coast Guard marine investigation regulations and procedures.

- (a) The Coast Guard's responsibility to investigate marine casualties is not eliminated nor diminished by the regulations in this part.
- (b) In those instances where the Board conducts an investigation in which the Coast Guard also has responsibility under R.S. 4450 ([46 U.S.C. 239](/usc/46/239.md)), the proceedings are conducted independently, but so as to avoid duplication as much as possible.
