70% to pass

Anyone voluntarily surrendering their Merchant Mariner Credential to a U.S. Coast Guard investigating officer signs a statement indicating which of the following?

A they may be issued a new credential in 5 years after passing another written examination
B their rights to a hearing are waived
C all title to the credential is given up for 5 years
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) their rights to a hearing are waived. When a Merchant Mariner Credential holder voluntarily surrenders their credential to a U.S. Coast Guard investigating officer, they are signing a statement that waives their rights to a hearing. This means the credential holder agrees to forgo the formal administrative hearing process that would normally be required before the Coast Guard can take adverse action against the credential. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) there is no automatic 5-year waiting period before a new credential can be issued, C) the credential holder is not giving up title to the credential for a specific duration, and D) the statement does not cover all of those options - only the waiver of hearing rights.
