Plan Citation Capability OSRO Classification Additional Services

The regulations promulgated by Federal and State governments require oil-handling facilities and vessels to prepare an oil spill response plan. These planholders are required to have private response resources available under contract, or available through other approved means, and cited in the planholder's vessel or facility response plans.

MSRC's response resources may be cited in both Federal and State response plans by a member of MPA which has executed a Service Agreement with MSRC. Each company should consult with their response plan writer and their spill manager to ensure that appropriate and adequate response capability is being cited to meet the requirements of OPA-90 and any applicable state requirements.

MSRC may be cited in response plans within MSRC's Operational Area for:

• Maximum Most Probable Discharge (MMPD)
• Worst Case Discharge (WCD) Tiers 1, 2, & 3
• Shallow water cleanup
• Shoreline protection and cleanup.

MSRC's primary Operational Area is the coastal and navigable waters of the U.S. East, Gulf, and West Coasts, including the U.S. Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands. In these areas, the resources of MSRC may be cited in response plans as required by OPA-90 and applicable state requirements consistent with the terms of MSRC's Service Agreement
