What does CFR part 91.175 require a pilot to do when vectored to final approach course, conducting a timed approach or when 'NO PT' is specified?

ATC clearance governs whether you may execute a reversal maneuver on an instrument approach. When you’re vectored to the final approach course, or you’re performing a timed approach, or the approach plate states NO PT, you don’t automatically reverse course or fly a procedure turn. A procedure turn is only permitted if ATC explicitly clears you for it. So the required action is to obtain a clearance for the procedure turn before performing it. This keeps you aligned with ATC instructions and avoids conflicts with other traffic or published restrictions.
