Quality and Consistency Review of SPCC and FRP Plans
EPA conducted an internal quality and consistency review of a sample of Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans and Facility Response Plans (FRPs) required under 40 CFR part 112. The review was to inform the Agency’s continued outreach to provide regulatory clarity and improve SPCC and FRP compliance. EPA summarized its findings in the Quality and Consistency Review of SPCC and FRP Plans - Summary of Findings Fact Sheet (pdf) . The review also follows recommendations by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) in EPA Needs to Further Improve How It Manages Its Oil Pollution Prevention Program (Report No. 12-P-0253, February 6, 2012).
EPA held three stakeholders outreach webinars about this review in May 2021. The presentation materials from these sessions are available here:
