(a) Rating
					 Standards
(1) Ratings for Containment,
					 Recovery, and Storage
An oil spill response organization may apply for a rating
						within an area contingency plan or a response planning area, or county within a
						response planning area to provide containment, on-water or terrestrial
						recovery, or storage services to plan holders. Ratings will reflect the type of
						response services offered based on the projected arrival time of the response
						equipment and personnel within the designated areas.
(A) Marine Waters. Ratings for the first six
					 hours of marine on-water services require sufficient dedicated response
					 resources (as defined in section
					 815.05(c)) or
					 OSRO-owned and controlled resources (as defined in section
					 790). Ratings for containment boom
					 services will be issued for the first 12 hours of capability. Containment boom,
					 on-water recovery, and storage response resources must be at the location of
					 the drill or spill, and deployed and operating within one hour of arrival, but
					 no later than the designated time frame for each rating. The marine water
					 rating time frames apply to all operating environments and are as follows:
Ratings by Hour
Equipment Times
0
On-scene and operational within 30 minutes
1
On-scene and operational within 1 hour
2
On-scene and operational within 2 hours
3
On-scene and operational within 3 hours
4
On-scene and operational within 4 hours
6
On-scene and operational within 6 hours
12
On-scene and operational within 12 hours
18
On-scene and operational within 18 hours
24
On-scene and operational within 24 hours
36
On-scene and operational within 36 hours
60

(B) Inland On-Waters. Ratings for the first
					 six hours of inland on-water services require sufficient dedicated response
					 resources. The containment boom, recovery, and storage response resources must
					 be at the location of the drill or spill, and deployed and operating within one
					 hour of arrival, but no later than the designated time frame for each rating.
					 The inland on-water rating time frames are as follows:
Ratings by Hour
Equipment Times

On-scene and operational within 6 hours
12
On-scene and operational within 12 hours
24

(C) Terrestrial. Dedicated response resources
					 are not required for a terrestrial service rating. Terrestrial response
					 resources may be owned or subcontracted by the oil spill response organization
					 to meet the terrestrial service rating and on-scene requirements. The equipment
					 must be at the location of the drill or spill, and deployed and operating
					 within one hour of arrival, but no later than the designated time frame for
					 each rating. The inland terrestrial service rating time frames are as follows:
Ratings by Hour
Equipment Times
6
On-scene and operational within 6 hours
12
