🔍 Key Concepts

• Federal law on oil spill reporting and the duty to notify the Coast Guard immediately • The difference between penalties for causing a spill vs. failing to report a spill • Criminal penalties in U.S. law: how many years of imprisonment are commonly used as maximum terms for environmental violations

💭 Think About

• Think about whether failing to report is treated as a minor offense or a serious criminal violation under environmental protection laws • Consider which of these time periods (1, 2, 3, or 5 years) is commonly used as the maximum imprisonment term for a single count of this type of federal environmental crime • Ask yourself whether Congress would likely choose a shorter or longer term to encourage prompt reporting of oil spills

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the specific statute or regulation that covers failure to notify of an oil discharge (look in 33 CFR and the corresponding U.S. Code section for criminal penalties) • Check whether the law specifies a maximum term of imprisonment and match that number to the answer choices • Confirm that you are looking at the penalty for not reporting the spill, not for causing the spill or for repeated offenses
