🔍 Key Concepts

• CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Titles and what they cover – especially the difference between Title 33 and Title 46 • Which CFR parts deal with pollution prevention equipment like oily water separators and bilge alarms • How equipment approval standards are organized in the CFR (design & approval vs operational requirements)

💭 Think About

• First, decide which CFR Title (33 or 46) is more likely to contain the approval standards for shipboard equipment rather than operating or recordkeeping rules • Ask yourself: Are oily water separators and bilge monitors more about marine environmental protection rules or about approval and construction standards for ship equipment? • Look at how CFR sections are usually numbered: which one of these choices looks like a subchapter for equipment approval specifications rather than general operating regulations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which Title of the CFR normally covers shipping and vessel equipment approvals (vs. navigation and pollution regulations for all vessels) • Check which choice includes a part number series commonly associated with equipment approval tests and specifications • Eliminate any option that relates to unrelated industries or accounting/energy regulations, not maritime equipment approval
