USCG requires it to be marine rated. The concern is the permeability of the rubber (how fast fuel vapor is going to "leak" through the hose into the bilge). CA SMOG/emmissions requirements are now tighter than the USCG permeability requirement so most of the newer fuel lines meet this requirement but lack the marine rating. So "legally" it must be marine rated, but technically you can get better/safer hose that isn't...
