According to the Pollution Prevention Regulations, any discharge of oil, or oily mixture into the sea from any oil tanker, or from any ship of 400 gross tons and above, other than an oil tanker, is prohibited while in a "special" area. These "special areas" are designated in __________.
• Special areas for pollution prevention under MARPOL and how the U.S. implements them in domestic law • Which parts of 33 CFR deal specifically with oil pollution and garbage from ships • How gross tonnage thresholds (e.g., 400 GT and above) appear in pollution-prevention regulations
• Look at which CFR part is titled or focused on vessels carrying oil and pollution from ships rather than operations or equipment approval • Ask yourself: Which of these parts is most likely to list geographic areas and operational limits, instead of procedures for handling, response, or equipment certification? • Consider where U.S. regulations usually place the domestic implementation of MARPOL Annex I special areas for oil pollution
• Match the question’s language: "discharge of oil, or oily mixture" and "special area" with the part of 33 CFR that uses those same terms • Confirm which cited part of 33 CFR actually contains lists or definitions of areas (like special areas, Antarctic area, etc.), not just general pollution control procedures • Verify that the chosen CFR part applies to ships and oil tankers of 400 gross tons and above operating in navigable waters and the EEZ, in line with MARPOL-type provisions
