Where can GMDSS regulations pertaining specifically to U.S.-flag vessels be found?

A These are published only by the U.S. Coast Guard.
B These are located in 47 CFR Part 80.
C These are located in CCIR no.476.
D These are located in FCC Part 83.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) These are located in 47 CFR Part 80. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) regulations pertaining specifically to U.S.-flag vessels are found in 47 CFR Part 80, which is the section of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that covers the rules for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding maritime services. This part of the CFR includes the detailed GMDSS requirements and procedures that apply to U.S. vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The GMDSS regulations are not published solely by the U.S. Coast Guard, but rather by the FCC in the CFR. C) CCIR no.476 is an international recommendation, not a U.S. regulation. D) FCC Part 83 does not exist, the relevant regulations are in Part 80.
