Oil Spill Response Plan Audit Report
The Oil Spill Response Plan (OSRP) Program was developed in response to legislative authority in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, PL 101-380 (OPA 90), which requires operators have response plans in order to handle, store, or transport oil. PHMSA’s Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) is responsible for the review and approval of oil spill response plans for onshore pipeline facilities; it may also carry out response plan exercises but is not required by law to do so.
