Question 501Navigation General

The correct answer is A) New editions of Light Lists are corrected through the date shown on the title page. This is because Light Lists are published by the National Ocean Service (NOS), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and they are considered correct and up-to-date through the date indicated on the title page. The U.S. Coast Guard does not publish new editions of Light Lists, but they do issue weekly Local Notice to Mariners to provide updates and corrections between new editions. Options B and C are incorrect because the National Ocean Service publishes the Light Lists, not the National Ocean Service, and the U.S. Coast Guard issues weekly updates, not monthly supplements.
