Who must report in cases of transportation-related releases?

In the case of transportation-related releases, should the emergency release notification requirements apply to the owner or the operator of the facility?

Either the owner or operator may give notice after a release. Owners and operators may make private arrangements concerning which party is to provide release notification. However, under Section 304 both owner and operator are responsible if no notification is provided.
