The Oil Pollution Prevention regulation, 40 CFR part 112, requires and establishes procedures for the preparation and implementation of Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans. SPCC Plans help minimize the potential for oil discharges from non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities which, due to their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful, as described in 40 CFR part 110, into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.
Owners and operators of regulated facilities must prepare SPCC Plans in accordance with good engineering practices and sound industry practices. The plans either must be certified by a Professional Engineer (PE) or self-certified in the case of qualified facilities and approved by a person with the authority to commit the resources necessary to implement the SPCC Plan. SPCC Plans address the following three areas: (1) operating procedures that prevent oil spills; (2) control measures to prevent a spill from reaching navigable waters or adjoining shorelines; and (3) countermeasures to discover, contain, clean-up, and mitigate the effects of an oil discharge that could reach navigable waters. While each SPCC Plan is unique to the facility it covers, Plans must include certain standard elements to ensure compliance with the regulations.
The differences in burden and costs from the previous ICR are attributed to changes in the projected number of affected facilities over the next three years.
