Question 9 CEL01 - Chief Engineer - Limited
Coast Guard regulations concerning marine sanitation devices may be found in __________.
The Correct Answer is A **Explanation for Option A (33 CFR Section 159):** Option A is correct because Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) deals with Navigation and Navigable Waters, and specifically, Part 159 (titled "Marine Sanitation Devices") contains the entirety of the Coast Guard regulations governing the design, approval, installation, maintenance, and use of marine sanitation devices (MSDs). This is the definitive source for these regulations. **Explanation for Incorrect Options:** * **Option B (33 CFR Section 153):** Part 153 of 33 CFR is titled "Control of Pollution by Oil and Hazardous Substances, Discharge Removal," focusing primarily on requirements for oil transfer operations and the immediate reporting and cleanup of oil spills, not the standards for marine sanitation devices. * **Option C (33 CFR Section 155):** Part 155 of 33 CFR is titled "Oil or Hazardous Material Pollution Prevention Regulations for Vessels," which covers vessel equipment and operating requirements aimed at preventing oil and hazardous material spills, but does not regulate MSDs. * **Option D (33 CFR Section 156):** Part 156 of 33 CFR is titled "Oil and Hazardous Material Transfer Operations," which sets standards for the safe transfer of these materials between vessels and facilities, and is not related to marine sanitation devices.
