Guidelines for Implementation and Enforcement of Vessel Response Plans,

33

Oil Pollution Act of 1990 is approved.

I commend your efforts in developing a response plan that reflects your company's operating

procedures and organizational structure. I remind you that your plan is a vital working document

and that implementing the plan will help ensure effective oil spill response and mitigation. Please

be sure that all parties with responsibilities under the plan are familiar with the plan's procedures

and requirements.

You are reminded that the King Oil Terminal is prohibited from handling, storing, transporting,

transferring, or lightering oil unless it is operating in full compliance with this plan. Compliance

includes ensuring that the required resources are in place and available through contract or other

approved means. In addition, the facility must have a copy of the plan at the marine-transportation

related portion of your facility. It is recommended that this copy be placed with your facility's

operations manual.

Your plan's approval will remain valid until 5 years from the date of this letter. You must review

your plan annually and resubmit the plan to the Coast Guard for reapproval 6 months before the

end of the approval period as required by 33 CFR 154.1065.

A copy of this letter shall be with the plan.

Sincerely,

I. M. Wright
