According to OPA, an owner or operator of a “substantial harm” facility must develop and implement an FRP.  A “substantial harm” facility is a facility that, because of its location, could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into or on navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.  EPA’s Facility Response Plan requirements were published as a final rule in the Federal Register on July 1, 1994, and codified at 40 CFR 112.20 and 112.21, including Appendices B through F.  EPA published revisions to the rule in the Federal Register on June 30, 2000, which modified the requirements for an owner or operator of a facility handling, storing, or transporting animal fat or vegetable oil to account for new research findings and to reflect new statutory requirements under the 1995 Edible Oil Regulatory Reform Act and EPA’s Fiscal Year 1999 Appropriation.
