Question 67 1AE01 - First Assistant Engineer

The Correct Answer is A **Explanation for Option A (33 CFR Section 159):** Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) covers Navigation and Navigable Waters. Part 159 is specifically and definitively titled "Marine Sanitation Devices." This section contains the detailed regulations established by the U.S. Coast Guard concerning the design, construction, certification, and operational requirements for all types of MSDs installed on vessels operating in U.S. waters. **Explanation for Incorrect Options:** * **Option B (33 CFR Section 153):** This section addresses the *Control of Pollution by Oil and Hazardous Substances*, specifically focusing on requirements for reporting and removal procedures related to spills. It does not govern the standards for sanitation devices. * **Option C (33 CFR Section 155):** This section covers *Oil or Hazardous Material Pollution Prevention Regulations for Vessels*, detailing vessel requirements, operational procedures, and pollution prevention equipment related to oil and hazardous materials, not sewage standards. * **Option D (33 CFR Section 156):** This section deals with *Guidelines for Controlling Discharge of Oil*. It focuses on operational requirements for transfer hoses, equipment, and procedures related to oil transfers, which is separate from the regulations governing Marine Sanitation Devices.
