46 CFR 147 is part of which regulatory code?

• A. 46 CFR 147
• B. 33 CFR 159.3
• C. MEPC.76(40)
• D. 50 CFR 17

Answer: (A)

Regulations in the United States are organized in the Code of Federal Regulations, with titles covering broad subjects and parts specifying individual rules. The citation 46 CFR 147 is a section within Title 46, which deals with Shipping, of the CFR. So this section belongs to the Code of Federal Regulations. The other items point to different regulatory frameworks or different CFR titles (for example, a different CFR title covers other topics, MEPC.76(40) is an IMO resolution, not CFR, and 50 CFR 17 is a section in a CFR title about Wildlife and Fisheries). Since the question asks which regulatory code contains the section, the Code of Federal Regulations is the correct code.
