WhyRACES training drills and tests may be conducted routinely for no more than one hour per week without special authorization. §97.407(d)(4) caps routine RACES training drills and tests at one hour per week without special authorization, keeping practice sessions from tying up frequencies RACES might need for an actual emergency, answer C. The monthly limits in A and B, and the two-hour weekly figure in D, don't match the actual rule.
