In accordance with 33 CFR Subchapter O (Pollution), each operation involving the transfer of oil or oily mixture that requires an entry in the Oil Record Book shall be fully recorded __________.
• 33 CFR Subchapter O requirements for Oil Record Books • The meaning of the phrase "without delay" in regulatory language • Difference between a time limit after completion and an action required as soon as practicable
• Look at which choices specify a fixed number of hours versus a more immediate requirement, and think about which style is commonly used in pollution-prevention recordkeeping rules. • Ask yourself: does the regulation prefer a specific deadline (like 12, 24, or 48 hours) or an instruction to act as soon as the operation is finished and it is practicable to make the entry? • Consider why regulators want Oil Record Book entries made quickly—what problem are they trying to prevent with this timing requirement?
• Verify the exact wording in 33 CFR Subchapter O regarding timing of entries in the Oil Record Book. • Check whether the regulation uses a specific hour limit or a phrase like "without delay" / "immediately after". • Confirm that the requirement applies to each operation involving the transfer of oil or oily mixture that must be recorded.
