The Commission shall require the construction,
maintenance, and operation by a licensee at its own expense of such lights and
signals as may be directed by the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast
Guard is operating, and such fishways as may be prescribed by the Secretary of
Commerce [or the Secretary of the Interior, as appropriate]. The operation of
any navigation facilities which may be constructed as a part of or in connection
with any dam or diversion structure built under the provisions of this Act [16

regulations in the interest of navigation, including the control of the level of
the pool caused by such dam or diversion structure as may be made from time to
time by the Secretary of War [Secretary of the Army]; and for willful failure to
comply with any such rule or regulation such licensee shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as provided in
section 316 hereof [16 USC §§ 825o].
