To become a customer of the Marine Spill Response Corporation
(MSRC) entitled to cite MSRC in response plans, a company
must first become a member of the Marine Preservation Association
(MPA). MPA is an Arizona based non-profit membership corporation
organized exclusively to promote the welfare and interests
of the petroleum transportation, petroleum, and energy industries
by addressing the problems caused by spills of oil and petroleum
products on water. These member companies have recognized
the importance of a high quality, dedicated spill response
capability necessary to protect the environment and, through
MPA, provide steady state funding to MSRC to achieve this
objective. A company may execute a Service Agreement with
MSRC after establishing membership with MPA to allow the company
to cite MSRC resources in vessel and facility response plans.
MPA was established independent of MSRC to oversee broad
policy issues affecting its members' industries generally,
including funding objectives for spill response capabilities
and the mechanisms by which the MPA membership will share
in the cost of such funding. MSRC provides independent spill
response resources and capability based on the funding received
from MPA. While the two organizations operate independently,
well established communication is on-going between the two
entities. Members of MPA deal directly with MPA with
respect to overall membership and funding issues and, as
customers of MSRC, deal directly with MSRC regarding all
operational and technical aspects associated with spill response.
