Where would you find the FCC authorization for transmitting on your rig's EPIRB?

A On the side of the EPIRB transmitter
B In the radio log
C On the Certificate of Inspection
D On the Ship Station License
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) On the Ship Station License. The Ship Station License issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorizes the operation of the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) installed on the vessel. This license contains the specific frequencies and transmission parameters that the EPIRB is authorized to use, which must be in compliance with FCC regulations. The other options are incorrect because the FCC authorization is not found on the side of the EPIRB transmitter, in the radio log, or on the Certificate of Inspection, but rather on the official Ship Station License issued by the FCC for that vessel.
