Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
					 oil spill response organization rating process was developed to evaluate the
					 capability of persons providing oil spill cleanup services and to facilitate
					 the preparation and review of oil spill contingency plans.
(b) A vessel or facility owner or operator
					 who is required to submit an oil spill contingency plan pursuant to this
					 chapter must, among other things, identify and ensure by contract or other
					 approved means the availability of personnel and equipment necessary to respond
					 to all contingency plan requirements. Plan holders may rely on a rated oil
					 spill response organization to comply with contingency plan requirements. Plan
					 holders that have a contract or other approved means for spill containment,
					 recovery, storage, or shoreline protection services of a rated oil spill
					 response organization do not have to list that oil spill response
					 organization's response resources in their plan.
