The purpose of this document is to assist the petroleum industry in under-standing the SPCC regulation in light of the latest rule (40 CFR Part 112) and to offer guidance for developing SPCC Plans wherever they are needed. Included is a template for developing SPCC plans (i.e. onshore excluding production; onshore oil production, oil drilling or workover; or offshore oil drilling, production or workover) in accordance with the regulation and guidance, instruction and clarification for completing each section of the template.

The purpose of this rulemaking was to establish procedures, methods, and equipment to prevent and contain discharges of oil from non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities; thus preventing pollution of navigable waters of the United States.

The development of this Bulletin was commissioned by API and performed by O’Brien’s Response Management Inc.
