Abstract: The authority for EPA’s oil pollution prevention requirements is derived from section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. EPA’s regulation is codified at 40 CFR part 112. An SPCC Plan will help an owner or operator identify the necessary procedures, equipment, and resources to prevent an oil spill and to respond to an oil spill in a timely manner. If implemented effectively, the SPCC Plan is expected to prevent oil spills and reduce the impact and severity of oil spills. Although the owner or operator is the primary data user, EPA may also require the owner or operator to submit data to the Agency in certain situations to ensure facilities comply with the SPCC regulation and to help allocate response resources. State and local governments may use the data, which are not generally available elsewhere and can assist local emergency preparedness planning efforts. EPA does not require an owner or operator to submit SPCC Plans, but may request the SPCC Plan during a facility inspection or an oil spill incident for review. The SPCC regulation requires the owner or operator maintain a complete copy of the Plan at the facility if the facility is normally attended at least four hours per day or at the nearest field office if the facility is not so attended. The rule also requires that the Plan be available to the Regional Administrator for on-site review during normal working hours (40 CFR 112.3(e)). SPCC Plan Preparation. Under section 112.3(a) or (b), the owner or operator or onshore or offshore facility subject to this section must prepare in writing and implement an SPCC Plan in accordance with section 112.7 and any other applicable sections in the regulation. Section 112.7 requires that the Plan be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. The section also requires the Plan have the full approval of management at a level of authority to commit the necessary resources to fully implement the Plan. Specific provisions in this section, among others, require the owner or operator to predict the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as result of each type of major equipment failure (section 112.7(b)); provide for appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge (section 112.7(c)); provide for PE certification or a qualified facility certification (section 112.7(d)); and PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 conduct inspections and tests and maintain records (section 112.7(e)). Plan Certification. Under section 112.3(d), a SPCC Plan must, except as provided by 40 CFR 112.6, Qualified Facilities Plan Requirements, be reviewed and certified by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) for it to be effective to satisfy the requirements. Under section 112.6, the owner or operator of a qualified facility may selfcertify the Plan if the facility meets the eligibility criteria in section 112.3(g). SPCC Plan Maintenance. Under section 112.5, the owner or operator must complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years. As a result of this review and evaluation, the owner or operator must amend the Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if the technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge of oil. Recordkeeping. Under section 112.7(e), an owner or operator must conduct inspections and tests and maintain records. The inspections and tests must be conducted in accordance with written procedures the facility or the certifying engineer developed for the facility. The written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests must be signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector and kept with the SPCC Plan for a period of three years. Records of inspections and tests may be kept under usual and customary business practices. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are the owners or operators of facilities that are required to have a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan under the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112). The applicability, definitions, and general requirements for all facilities and all types of oil are located in section 112.1 of the regulations and apply to any owner or operator of a nontransportation-related onshore or offshore facility engaged in drilling, producing, gathering, storing, processing, refining, transferring, distributing, using or consuming oil and oil products, which due to its location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in quantities that may be harmful.

    Abstract: The authority for EPA's oil pollution prevention 
requirements is derived from section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Clean Water 
Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. EPA's regulation is 
codified at 40 CFR part 112. An SPCC Plan will help an owner or 
operator identify the necessary procedures, equipment, and resources to 
prevent an oil spill and to respond to an oil spill in a timely manner. 
If implemented effectively, the SPCC Plan is expected to prevent oil 
spills and reduce the impact and severity of oil spills. Although the 
owner or operator is the primary data user, EPA may also require the 
owner or operator to submit data to the Agency in certain situations to 
ensure facilities comply with the SPCC regulation and to help allocate 
response resources. State and local governments may use the data, which 
are not generally available elsewhere and can assist local emergency 
preparedness planning efforts. EPA does not require an owner or 
operator to submit SPCC Plans, but may request the SPCC Plan during a 
facility inspection or an oil spill incident for review. The SPCC 
regulation requires the owner or operator maintain a complete copy of 
the Plan at the facility if the facility is normally attended at least 
four hours per day or at the nearest field office if the facility is 
not so attended. The rule also requires that the Plan be available to 
the Regional Administrator for on-site review during normal working 
hours (40 CFR 112.3(e)).
    SPCC Plan Preparation. Under section 112.3(a) or (b), the owner or 
operator or onshore or offshore facility subject to this section must 
prepare in writing and implement an SPCC Plan in accordance with 
section 112.7 and any other applicable sections in the regulation. 
Section 112.7 requires that the Plan be prepared in accordance with 
good engineering practices. The section also requires the Plan have the 
full approval of management at a level of authority to commit the 
necessary resources to fully implement the Plan. Specific provisions in 
this section, among others, require the owner or operator to predict 
the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be 
discharged from the facility as result of each type of major equipment 
failure (section 112.7(b)); provide for appropriate containment and/or 
diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge (section 
112.7(c)); provide for PE certification or a qualified facility 
certification (section 112.7(d)); and conduct inspections and tests and 
maintain records (section 112.7(e)).
    Plan Certification. Under section 112.3(d), a SPCC Plan must, 
except as provided by 40 CFR 112.6, Qualified Facilities Plan 
Requirements, be reviewed and certified by a licensed Professional 
Engineer (PE) for it to be effective to satisfy the requirements. Under 
section 112.6, the owner or operator of a qualified facility may self-
certify the Plan if the facility meets the eligibility criteria in 
section 112.3(g).
    SPCC Plan Maintenance. Under section 112.5, the owner or operator 
must complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once 
every five years. As a result of this review and evaluation, the owner 
or operator must amend the Plan within six months of the review to 
include more effective prevention and control technology if the 
technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will 
significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge of oil.
    Recordkeeping. Under section 112.7(e), an owner or operator must 
conduct inspections and tests and maintain records. The inspections and 
tests must be conducted in accordance with written procedures the 
facility or the certifying engineer developed for the facility. The 
written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests must be 
signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector and kept with the 
SPCC Plan for a period of three years. Records of inspections and tests 
may be kept under usual and customary business practices.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are the owners or operators of facilities that are required 
to have a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan 
under the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112). The 
applicability, definitions, and general requirements for all facilities 
and all types of oil are located in section 112.1 of the regulations 
and apply to any owner or operator of a non-transportation-related 
onshore or offshore facility engaged in drilling, producing, gathering, 
storing, processing, refining, transferring, distributing, using or 
consuming oil and oil products, which due to its location, could 
reasonably be expected to discharge oil into navigable waters or 
adjoining shorelines in quantities that may be harmful. (See 40 CFR 
112.1(a) through (d) for further information about the applicability of 
the oil pollution prevention regulations.)
