Hot refueling operations are not allowed within how many feet of any building, unless waivered from CG-41?

• A. 50FT, CG-41
• B. 100FT, CG-41
• C. 200FT, CG-41
• D. 100FT, FAA

Answer: (B)

Hot refueling creates flammable vapors and potential ignition sources near structures, so a safe clearance is needed to reduce fire risk and give responders space to act. For Coast Guard operations, the minimum distance from any building is 100 feet, with the possibility of an exception only if a waiver is granted by CG-41 after evaluating the safety case. The 100-foot requirement is specific to CG-41 policies; smaller distances would raise risk, while larger distances aren’t the standard. The FAA distance applies to civilian operations and isn’t the governing rule here.
