Oil Spill Prevention and Response Committee
The Oil Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) Committee works to minimize the risks and impacts associated with oil transportation through strong spill prevention and response measures, adequate contingency planning, and effective regulations. The OSPR Committee reviews oil spill response plans (contingency plans); monitors state and federal laws and regulations; monitors and participates in oil spill drills; and investigates developments in prevention, containment, response, and cleanup technology. Support staff for the OSPR Committee is located in Anchorage.
The committee worked hard to develop an effective nearshore response strategy and ensured that downstream communities have access to response resources to protect their communities.
