Well, I'd say probably the USCG or OSHA, Dept. of Health. Dept. of
oil, gas and minerals, Dept. of Natural Recourses. or a couple undered
other agencies might keep it from being operational without further
'testing'

Of course how can they test it without using it? Put it in a public
pool to see how it's going to work?

Like the old joke about the kid who was complaining to his friend.
"The ol' man says I can't drive his car until I learn how to drive.
Well, How can I learn to drive the 'ol man's car if the ol' man won't
let me drive it?"
