(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.
(b) Terminations.— 
On petition and a showing of good cause by the owner of a vessel, the Secretary may terminate the designation of a vessel as an American Great Lakes vessel.
