- A. When the applicant's previous MMC expired within the 12-month grace period and no Document of Continuity is held
- ✓ When the applicant's previous credential expired beyond the grace period and no Document of Continuity is heldCorrect
- C. When the applicant is seeking to add a new endorsement to a currently valid MMC
- D. When the applicant is seeking to modify a tonnage limitation on a currently valid MMC
Why B is correct
46 CFR §10.225(a)(2) requires an applicant to apply as an original when the first credential is sought after a previous credential has expired beyond the grace period and the applicant does not hold a Document of Continuity under §10.227(g) or an equivalent unexpired continuity endorsement.
