70% to passIn the event of an oil spill a report must be made to which of the following entities?
A
U.S. Coast Guard
B
U.S. Corps of Engineers
C
local fire department
D
local police
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) U.S. Coast Guard. In the event of an oil spill, U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that the spill be reported to the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has the primary responsibility for responding to and overseeing the cleanup of oil spills in U.S. waters. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because the U.S. Corps of Engineers, local fire departments, and local police do not have the same legal authority and responsibility for oil spill response as the U.S. Coast Guard.
