Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) renewal supports activities to implement the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), subpart J (40 CFR 300,900, "Use of Dispersants and Other Chemicals"). The use of disper- sants, other chemical agents, and bioremediation agents to respond to oil spills in US waters is governed by subpart J of the NCP (40CFR 300,900). EPA's regulation which is codified at 40 CFR 300.00, requires that EPA prepare a schedule of "dis- persants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any that may be used in carrying out the NCP."
