70% to pass

Requirements for H2S preparation and equipment usage aboard MODU's in U.S. offshore waters are administered by the which of the following organizations?

A U.S. Corps of Engineers
B U.S. Coast Guard
C Minerals Management Service
D American National Standards Institute
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Minerals Management Service. The Minerals Management Service (MMS), now known as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), is the organization that administers the requirements for H2S preparation and equipment usage aboard Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) in U.S. offshore waters. This is because the MMS/BOEM is responsible for regulating and overseeing offshore oil and gas operations, including safety and environmental protection measures, in federal waters. The other options are incorrect because the U.S. Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, and American National Standards Institute do not have primary jurisdiction over these specific H2S-related requirements for MODUs in U.S. offshore areas.
