Overview: The paper mentions that response to oil spills requires the combined efforts of the owner or operator of the facility or vessel that spilled the oil, the federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC), and state and local government officials. The specific steps taken to respond to a spill depend on the type of oil discharged, the location of the discharge, the proximity of the spill to sensitive environments, and other environmental factors.
