Per 40 CFR 112.3, the owner or operator of an onshore or offshore facility subject to this section must prepare a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan in writing. The December 5, 2008 changes (73 FR 74236) revised definition of ‘‘facility’’ and ‘‘production facility’’ presented in § 112.2. Its preamble discussion on p. 74235 reinforced the concept of a “multiple facility” SPCC plan. As stated there, this approach was of particular interest to operators in the oil production sector, wind power production and electrical distribution industies. Pipeline transfer facilities with multiple booster pumps or compressors may also want to consider the format.
