Question 830 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 49 CFR 176.58. The regulations for the preparation of cargo holds prior to loading hazardous materials are found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which covers transportation. Specifically, 49 CFR 176.58 outlines the requirements for the preparation of cargo holds on vessels carrying hazardous materials. The other options are incorrect because 46 CFR 176.57 and 46 CFR 176.58 are from Title 46 CFR, which covers shipping, and do not contain the regulations for hazardous material cargo hold preparation. 49 CFR 176.63 is also incorrect, as it covers the general stowage requirements for hazardous materials, not the specific cargo hold preparation procedures.
