(b) The plan does not need to list the
facility or corporate organizational
structure that the owner or operator
will use to manage the response, as required by § 154.1035(b)(3)(iii).
(c) The owner or operator must ensure and identify, by contract or a
method described in § 154.1228, that the
response resources required under
§ 154.1035(b)(3)(iv) are available for a
worst case discharge.

Other Non-Petroleum Oil Facilities

§ 154.1310

Purpose and applicability.

This subpart establishes oil spill response planning requirements for an
owner or operator of a facility that
handles, stores, or transports other
non-petroleum oils. The requirements
of this subpart are intended for use in
developing response plans and identifying response resources during the
planning process. They are not performance standards.
§ 154.1320 Response plan submission
requirements.
An owner or operator of a facility
that handles, stores, or transports
other non-petroleum oils shall submit
a response plan in accordance with the
requirements of this subpart, and with
all sections of subpart F of this part,
except §§ 154.1045 and 154.1047, which
apply to petroleum oils.

§ 154.1325 Response plan development
and evaluation criteria for facilities
that handle, store, or transport
other non-petroleum oils.
(a) An owner or operator of a facility
that handles, stores, or transports
other non-petroleum oils must provide
information in his or her plan that
identifies—
(1) Procedures and strategies for responding to a worst case discharge of
other non-petroleum oils to the maximum extent practicable; and
(2) Sources of the equipment and supplies necessary to locate, recover, and
mitigate such a discharge.

(b) An owner or operator of a facility
that handles, stores, or transports
other non-petroleum oils must ensure
that any equipment identified in a response plan is capable of operating in
the conditions expected in the geographic area(s) in which the facility
operates using the criteria in Table 1 of
appendix C of this part. When evaluating the operability of equipment, the
facility owner or operator must consider limitations that are identified in
the ACPs for the COTP zone in which
the facility is located, including—
(1) Ice conditions;
(2) Debris;
(3) Temperature ranges; and
(4) Weather-related visibility.
(c) The owner or operator of a facility that handles, stores, or transports
other non-petroleum oils must identify
the response resources that are available by contract or other approved
means as described in § 154.1028(a). The
equipment identified in a response plan
must include—
(1) Containment boom, sorbent boom,
or other methods for containing oil
floating on the surface or to protect
shorelines from impact;
(2) Oil recovery devices appropriate
for the type of other non-petroleum
oils handled; and
(3) Other appropriate equipment necessary to respond to a discharge involving the type of oil handled.
(d) Response resources identified in a
response plan under paragraph (c) of
this section must be capable of commencing an effective on-scene response
within the times specified in this paragraph for the applicable operating area:

Great Lakes ..........................................

(e) A response plan for a facility that
handles, stores, or transports other
non-petroleum oils must identify response resources with firefighting capability. The owner or operator of a facility that does not have adequate firefighting resources located at the facility or that cannot rely on sufficient
local firefighting resources must identify and ensure, by contract or other

approved means as described in
§ 154.1028(a), the availability of adequate firefighting resources. The response plan must also identify an individual located at the facility to work
with the fire department on other nonpetroleum oil fires. This individual
shall also verify that sufficient welltrained firefighting resources are available within a reasonable response time
to a worst case scenario. The individual may be the qualified individual
as defined in § 154.1020 and identified in
the response plan or another appropriate individual located at the facility.
(f) The response plan for a facility
that is located in any environment
with year-round preapproval for use of
dispersants and that handles, stores, or
transports other non-petroleum oils
may request a credit for up to 25 percent of the worst case planning volume
set forth by subpart F of this part. To
receive this credit, the facility owner
or operator must identify in the plan
and ensure, by contract or other approved
means
as
described
in
§ 154.1028(a), the availability of specified resources to apply the dispersants
and to monitor their effectiveness. The
extent of the credit will be based on
the volumes of the dispersant available
to sustain operations at the manufacturers’ recommended dosage rates.
Identification of these resources does
not imply that they will be authorized
for use. Actual authorization for use
during a spill response will be governed
by the provisions of the NCP and the
applicable ACP.

APPENDIX A TO PART 154—GUIDELINES
FOR DETONATION FLAME ARRESTERS
This appendix contains the draft ASTM
standard for detonation flame arresters. Devices meeting this standard will be accepted
by the Commandant (CG–522).
1. Scope
1.1 This standard provides the minimum
requirements for design, construction, performance and testing of detonation flame arresters.
2. Intent
2.1 This standard is intended for detonation flame arresters protecting systems containing vapors of flammable or combustible
liquids where vapor temperatures do not exceed 60 °C. For all tests, the test media defined in 14.1.1 can be used except where detonation flame arresters protect systems han-

dling vapors with a maximum experimental
safe gap (MESG) below 0.9 millimeters. Detonation flame arresters protecting such systems must be tested with appropriate media
(the same vapor or a media having a MESG
no greater than the vapor). Various gases
and their respective MESG are listed in attachment 1.
2.2 The tests in this standard are intended
to qualify detonation flame arresters for all
in-line applications independent of piping
configuration provided the operating pressure is equal to or less than the maximum
operating pressure limit specified in the
manufacturer’s certification and the diameter of the piping system in which the detonation arrester is to be installed is equal to or
less than the piping diameter used in the
testing.
NOTE: Detonation flame arresters meeting
this standard as Type I devices, which are
certified to be effective below 0 °C and which
can sustain three stable detonations without
being damaged or permanently deformed,
also comply with the minimum requirements
of the International Maritime Organization,
Maritime Safety Committee Circular No. 373
(MSC/Circ. 373/Rev.1).
