The Commandant of the Coast Guard may designate a Marine Board of Investigation to conduct an investigation under Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 4.09 if it appears that doing so would promote safety of life and property at sea or would be in the public interest.  Marine Boards of Investigation are conducted in a more formal, structured and public investigative process than a standard Coast Guard marine safety investigation.  Under Coast Guard policy and procedures, District Commanders and Officers in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMIs) have the ability to convene "Formal" level marine casualty investigations under Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 4.07; in which the assigned Investigating Officers follow the same general process and procedures used by a MBOI.
