What agency is responsible for enforcing the rules for obstruction lights on mobile offshore drilling units?

A Minerals Management Service
B Corps of Engineers
C U.S. Coast Guard
D Department of Energy
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for enforcing the rules and regulations regarding obstruction lights on mobile offshore drilling units. This is because the Coast Guard has the authority to enforce the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to maritime safety and navigation, including the requirements for lighting and marking of offshore structures. The other options are incorrect because the Minerals Management Service (now Bureau of Ocean Energy Management) oversees offshore energy development, the Corps of Engineers is responsible for dredging and construction projects, and the Department of Energy is focused on energy policy and research, not enforcement of maritime regulations.
