70% to pass

The regulations regarding Oil Record Books do not apply to MODU's that _______________.

A have a valid National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
B have a valid International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate
C are on an international voyage
D are on a voyage of more than 24 hours
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) have a valid National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The regulations regarding Oil Record Books do not apply to MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) that have a valid NPDES permit. This is because the NPDES permit covers the discharge of oil and other pollutants, making the Oil Record Book requirement redundant for these types of vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) having an International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate does not exempt a MODU from the Oil Record Book requirements, C) the voyage length is not a factor, and D) the regulations apply regardless of whether the voyage is international or domestic.
