Question 2682 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. When a standard is "incorporated by reference" in the fire protection regulations for towing vessels, it means that: 1) The Coast Guard accepts a commercial or military standard as part of a specific regulation. 2) The standard is readily available to the public. 3) The standard, and where it can be obtained or referred to, are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations. The other options are incorrect because they only capture one or two of these aspects, while the full definition includes all three elements.
