Facility Response Plan

Abstract

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) strengthened and increased the requirements on ships and facilities handling, storing, and transporting oil. One of those requirements is the preparation of Facility Response Plans (FRPs) by ships or facilities which meet specific operating capacities. The Facility Response Plan is intended to be an all-inclusive guide for responding to and cleaning up any size spill, including a facility's or ship's worst case discharge. Although Navy ships are exempt from preparing FRPs, Navy facilities are required to submit plans. The requirements for the FRPs were expanded and clarified in four separate regulations which address different types of facilities. Since most Navy facilities are affected by at least one set of FRP regulations, a comprehensive guidebook detailing all of the requirements streamlines preparation of a facility's FRP.
