70% to pass

When amendments are made to the Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan, the revisions must be submitted to the Coast Guard _______________.

A and can be implemented without immediate approval as long as final approval is received within six months of submission
B six months before the end of the approval period
C and cannot be implemented without approval
D one month before the anniversary date of the plan
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) and cannot be implemented without approval. The Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) is a required document for certain vessels under Coast Guard regulations. Any amendments or revisions made to the SOPEP must be submitted to the Coast Guard for approval before they can be implemented. The regulations do not allow for revisions to be implemented without prior Coast Guard approval, which makes option C the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement for Coast Guard approval before SOPEP revisions can be implemented. Options A and D provide timeframes for submission, but do not state that approval is required. Option B is incorrect because the regulations do not specify a six-month timeframe for submitting revisions.
