🔍 Key Concepts

• Oil Pollution Act / Federal Water Pollution Control Act penalties for discharging oil into navigable waters • Difference between criminal penalties, civil fines, and license/document actions (suspension/revocation) • USCG authority over merchant mariner documents such as tankerman endorsements

💭 Think About

• Think about whether an unsafe or illegal oil transfer can trigger only one kind of penalty or if multiple agencies and laws can act at once. • Ask yourself: does the Coast Guard only fine mariners, only take their documents, or can they also refer them for criminal prosecution? • Consider whether the question is about the maximum exposure for the tankerman, or just the most likely penalty.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which of the listed penalties (imprisonment, document action, fine) are realistic consequences of a federal oil pollution violation. • Verify that the Coast Guard can act directly on a mariner’s tankerman document when negligence or misconduct causes a spill. • Remember that Title 18 U.S. Code is the main federal criminal code, often used for setting fine and imprisonment ranges for environmental crimes.
