State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for Removal Costs under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990

OMB No. 1625-0068 Exp: 10/31/2021

Who must comply?	Governor’s, or their designated representatives, of state government
What is this collection about?	This information collection is the mechanism for a Governor of a state to make a request for payment from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund in an amount not to exceed $250,000 for removal cost consistent with the National Contingency Plan required for the immediate removal of a discharge, or the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of discharge, of oil.
Where do I find the requirements for this information?	33 CFR part 133
When must information be submitted to the Coast Guard?	The information must be submitted to the Coast Guard after the state official ensures that the procedures in the National Contingency Plan for notifying Federal authorities of the discharge or substantial threat have been met.
How is the information submitted?	By telephone or other rapid means to the On-scene Coordinator
What happens when complete information is received?	The information provided by the State to the NPFC is used to determine whether expenditures submitted by the State to the OSLTF are compensable, and, where compensable, to ensure the correct amount of reimbursement is made by the OSLTF to the State. If the information is not collected, the USCG and NPFC will be unable to justify the resulting expenditures, and thus unable to recover costs from the parties responsible for the spill when they can be identified.
For additional information, contact--	Ms. Erin Dufek (703) 872-6016
