🔍 Key Concepts

• Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) requirements for reporting oil spills • Who is considered the "person in charge" on a vessel or facility • The role of the U.S. Coast Guard in marine pollution incidents in navigable waters of the U.S.

💭 Think About

• Think about which government agency is normally contacted FIRST when there is an oil spill from a vessel in U.S. navigable waters. • Consider what specific duty the person in charge (master, operator, or PIC) has when they become aware of a discharge of oil. • Ask yourself: which choices describe ongoing "cleanup responsibility" versus immediate notification/reporting responsibility?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which agency receives immediate pollution reports on VHF or telephone for spills in navigable waters (hint: same as for MAYDAY/SECURITE pollution reports). • Distinguish between reporting the spill and conducting/overseeing the cleanup — the question is about which statement is true overall, not just about cleanup. • Eliminate any choices that assign spill cleanup to agencies that normally handle engineering projects or land/resource management, rather than maritime safety and pollution response.
