SUMMARY: • Industry has voluntarily funded this significant increase and development in the U.S. response capability • While this capability is focused in the U.S. GOM, it is available to MSRC Customers nationally and can cascade to a spill site in short order • This Program MAY be expanded to meet dispersant regulatory requirements which will become effective 2-22-11 • Primarily a requirement for ship owners and some MTR Facility operators • These regulations are particularly onerous and a decision has not been made at this time whether MSRC will expand its program to offer this service
