Current through September 30, 2024
Section 553.14 - How do I determine the worst case oil-spill discharge volume?
(a) To calculate the amount of OSFR you must demonstrate for a facility under § 553.13(b) , you must use the worst case oil-spill discharge volume that you determined under whichever of the following regulations applies:
(1) 30 CFR part 254-Response Plans for Facilities Located Seaward of the Coast Line, except that the volume of the worst case oil-spill discharge for a well must be four times the uncontrolled flow volume that you estimate for the first 24 hours.
(2) 40 CFR part 112 -Oil Pollution Prevention; or
(3) 49 CFR part 194 -Response Plans for Onshore Oil Pipelines.
(b) If you are a designated applicant and you choose to demonstrate $150 million in OSFR, you are not required to determine any worst case oil-spill discharge volumes, since that is the maximum amount of OSFR required under this part.
