Oversight of the Jones Act extends far beyond the USCG (CBP, TSA, ICE etc. all play rolls), so you cant disqualify the application based solely upon their lack of jurisdiction on the lake.

I too am curious which sections you are inquiring about. Overall I would tend to agree with TIM Guy in that Winnipesaukee does not fall under jurisdiction of the Jones Act.
