Oil spills.

The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including emergency drills and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup. The act requires each owner or operator of a tank vessel, nontank vessel carrying oil as a secondary cargo, or facility to submit, upon request of the administrator, a copy of a federally approved oil spill response plan at the time of approval of the plan. This bill would instead require each owner or operator of a tank vessel, nontank vessel, vessel carrying oil as a secondary cargo, or facility to submit, upon request of the administrator, a copy of a federally approved oil spill response plan at the time of approval of the plan. The bill also would revise and add various definitions within the act and would make nonsubstantive changes to these and other provisions.
