The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) requires vessel and facility owners and operators to prepare oil spill response plans to remove a worst case discharge (total loss of cargo in adverse weather). It requires the Coast Guard to review response plans for approval. Plan preparers need objective standards for selecting and assigning sufficient response resources to facilitate plan approval. All parties must have common, national standards for matching oil spill response resources to anticipated response needs. The Coast Guard has solicited the assistance of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to develop consensus technical standards for oil spill response equipment and systems. ASTM Committee F20 on Hazardous Substances and Oil Spill Response formed separate work groups to develop standards for such things as booms, skimmers, temporary storage devices, sorbents, dispersants, pumps, and bioremediants. ASTM standards take the form of test methods, guidelines, specifications, terminology, practices, classifications, and other standards pertaining to performance, durability, strength of systems, and techniques for the control and removal of oil and hazardous substances spills. The Coast Guard is working closely with Environment Canada on this process to ensure that resulting standards apply equally well across North America. This paper will discuss the Coast Guard's role and progress being made in the development of consensus standards to facilitate the enforcement of the regulations that implement OPA 90.
