Offshore drilling units that are on an international voyage must have a portable radio apparatus that meets specific requirements. Which of the following organizations mandates these requirements?
AI Explanation
You are correct, the correct answer is C) Federal Communications Commission.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the regulatory body that mandates the requirements for portable radio apparatus on offshore drilling units, including those on international voyages. The FCC is responsible for managing and regulating radio frequency communications in the United States, including maritime communications.
The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is a classification society, not a regulatory body, the U.S. Coast Guard oversees vessel safety and operations, and the Minerals Management Service (now the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management) regulates offshore oil and gas activities, but not specifically radio equipment requirements.
