Subpart B—Notice of the Discharge of Oil or a Hazardous
Substance
§ 153.201

Purpose.

The purpose of this subpart is to prescribe the manner in which the notice
required in section 311(b)(5) of the Act
is to be given and to list the government officials to receive that notice.
§ 153.203 Procedure for the notice of
discharge.
Any person in charge of a vessel or of
an onshore or offshore facility shall, as
soon as they have knowledge of any
discharge of oil or a hazardous substance from such vessel or facility in
violation of section 311(b)(3) of the Act,
immediately notify the National Response Center (NRC), U.S. Coast Guard,
2100 2nd St., SW., Stop 7238, Washington, DC 20593–7238, toll free telephone
number: 800–424–8802, direct telephone:
202–267–2675, or Fax: 202–267–1322. If direct reporting to the NRC is not practicable, reports may be made to the
Coast Guard or EPA predesignated OSC
for the geographic area where the discharge occurs. All such reports shall be
promptly relayed to the NRC. If it is
not possible to notify the NRC or the
predesignated OSC immediately, reports may be made immediately to the
nearest Coast Guard unit, provided
that the person in charge of the vessel
or onshore or offshore facility notifies
the NRC as soon as possible. A report
made under this section satisfies the
reporting requirements of § 151.15 of
this chapter and of 46 CFR 4.05–1, if required under that provision.
NOTE: Geographical jurisdiction of Coast
Guard and EPA OSC’s are specified in the applicable Regional Contingency Plan. Regional Contingency Plans are available at
Coast Guard District Offices and EPA Regional Offices as indicated in Table 2. Addresses and telephone numbers for these offices are listed in Table 1.
