The tolls on vessels in ballast without passengers or cargo may be less than the tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo.

(c)Payment of tolls by vessels of United States Vessels operated by the United States, including vessels of war and auxiliary vessels, and ocean-going training ships owned by the United States and operated by State nautical schools, shall pay tolls.
