70% to pass

In which publication could you find information concerning the minimum lighting required for bridges on U.S. waters?

A Chart No. 1.
B Code of Federal Regulations
C Mississippi River Systems Light List
D Notice to Mariners
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Code of Federal Regulations. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the official compilation of the general and permanent rules and regulations published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the United States government. The CFR would contain the specific regulations regarding the minimum lighting requirements for bridges on U.S. waters, as this is a federal navigational safety requirement. The other options are incorrect because: A) Chart No. 1 is a publication that provides symbology and abbreviations used on nautical charts, but does not contain regulatory information; C) The Mississippi River Systems Light List provides information on aids to navigation in that specific waterway, but does not cover all U.S. waters; and D) The Notice to Mariners is a publication that provides temporary updates to chart information, not permanent regulations.
