🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR regulations on oil transfer operations and "person in charge" requirements • What it means, in practice, to safely supervise an oil transfer on a vessel or at a facility • The difference between required documents/notifications and required presence/supervision during the transfer

💭 Think About

• Which option directly affects safety and control of the transfer at the moment oil is actually moving? • Which options talk only about paperwork or advance notifications that might be required in other contexts, but do not guarantee safe, real‑time supervision? • During an oil transfer, what must the person in charge be able to do immediately if something goes wrong?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice ensures the person in charge can take prompt action (e.g., stop the transfer or correct problems). • Separate documentation/permits requirements from operational presence requirements. • Ask: Which option matches how the Coast Guard defines a "person in charge" for oil transfers under 33 CFR Part 155 and related sections?
