Where would you reference the regulations for Limited Access Areas in SSD AOR?

• A. 33 CFR 140
• B. 33 CFR 165
• C. 46 CFR 30
• D. 40 CFR 120

Answer: (B)

Limited Access Areas are governed under the Coast Guard’s Regulated Navigation Areas and Security Zones framework, which is codified in 33 CFR 165. This part specifically covers how areas can be restricted or controlled for safety, security, or security-related operations, including the establishment, boundaries, times, and enforcement of such zones. In the SSD AOR, any Limited Access Area would be referenced and implemented through 33 CFR 165, with notices to mariners and sector communications providing the exact details. The other regulations address different topics: 33 CFR 140 deals with other navigational or regulatory matters not tied to access restrictions in the AOR, 46 CFR 30 pertains to vessel and crew regulations outside the LAA context, and 40 CFR 120 concerns environmental regulatory requirements unrelated to navigable access restrictions.
