Following a Serious Marine Incident, a mariner directly involved in the incident is required to submit a urine specimen for drug testing within _______________.

A 2 hours
B 12 hours
C 24 hours
D 32 hours
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 32 hours. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, following a Serious Marine Incident (SMI), a mariner directly involved in the incident is required to submit a urine specimen for drug testing within 32 hours of the incident. This time frame is specified in the Coast Guard regulations to ensure that any drugs or alcohol consumed around the time of the incident can be detected during the testing process. The other options are incorrect because 2 hours is too short of a time frame, 12 hours is not the required time, and 24 hours is also not the correct regulatory requirement for drug testing following an SMI.
