Inland Oil Spill Programs

What this funds

The Agency notes that FY 2026 levels are estimates and subject to refinement based on Administration priorities. The Oil Spill: Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program manages inland oil spills via prevention, preparation, response, and monitoring. The Agency serves as first responders to oil spill notifications received from the National Response Center.1 Through this program, EPA requires high-risk facilities to prepare response plans assessed and evaluated by the Agency based on their size and location of oil either retained or used. The Program inspects Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) facilities, including a subcategory of Facility Response Plan (FRP) facilities recognized as high-risk due to their size and location, and implements the National The program is proposed for reduction to increase the effectiveness of Agency operations and reduce duplicative, voluntary, and unnecessary work. This change focuses resources on EPA's core mission and advances core statutory work. FY 2027 Activities and Performance Plan: Work in this program directly supports Goal 1/Objective 3, Revitalized Land and Contamination Prevention, in the FY 2026-2030 EPA Strategic Plan. In FY 2027, the program will: ' Ensure every oil and chemical incident emergency response action will protect human health and the environment for the American people. ' Develop partnerships at state and federal levels that supports advanced inspector training and yearly oil spill response training so responders can protect the needs of the American people. This will streamline compliance with regulatory requirements and optimize responsiveness for oil spill incidents to safeguard the environment, boost infrastructure, and bring back American jobs that will allow the Nation to thrive. FY 2027 performance goals and targets are located in the FY 2027 Performance Goals tab. ' (-$2,588.0) This change to fixed and other costs is a decrease due to the estimated calculation of base payroll costs for existing FTE, adjustments to provide essential workforce support, and estimated changes to benefits costs. ' (-$953.0 / +2.6 FTE) This program net change aligns funding with core statutory requirements and strategic goals, while recognizing needed efficiencies. EPA will prioritize resources for SPCC and FRP facility inspections for facilities that pose the highest risk. These adjustments are necessary to enable EPA to fulfill its federal responsibilities in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. The Clean Water Act Section 311 as amended by the Oil Pollution Act. Goal: Advance Permitting Reform, Cooperative Federalism, and Cross-Agency Partnership The Agency notes that FY 2026 levels are estimates and subject to refinement based on Administration priorities. Total workyears in FY 2027 include 3.1 FTE in Facilities Infrastructure and Operations working capital fund (WCF) services, an This program will realize savings as EPA anticipates improvements in workforce efficiency and facilities consolidation, allowing for a reduction in resources needed to maintain agency facilities. Inland Oil Spills (OIL) resources in the Facilities Infrastructure and Operations Program fund the FY 2027 Activities and Performance Plan: Work in this program directly supports Goal 3/Objective 3, Organizational Excellence, in the In FY 2027, EPA will continue to invest in the reconfiguration of EPA's workspaces, enabling the Agency to release office space and avoid long-term rent costs, consistent with Public Law 114- 287, the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016. In compliance with Executive Order (EO) 14274: Restoring Common Sense to Federal Office Space Management,2 as well as EO 14210: Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Workforce Optimization Initiative,3 EPA is implementing a space consolidation plan that will reduce the number of occupied facilities, consolidate space within remaining facilities, and reduce square footage. EPA is working to reduce office, laboratory, and warehouse space. This has the potential to provide an avoidance of approximately $19 million in rent, utilities, and security across all appropriations in FY 2027 This will help offset EPA's escalating rent and security costs and reduce taxpayer burden. The Agency is vacating its Houston regional laboratory and consolidating into the Ada, OK, facility for rent savings of $3.5 million and space reduction of 41,126 square feet. The Agency also is aggressively pursuing footprint reductions in its most expensive leased facilities. Due to persistent issues with the current Region 4 Headquarters and insufficient space at the Los Angeles facility, the Agency has begun the process to secure new leases in both locations. For FY 2027, the Agency is estimating $483 thousand for rent, with no funding for utilities and security in the Oil appropriation. EPA uses a standard methodology to ensure that rent charging appropriately reflects planned and enacted resources at the appropriation level. In FY 2027, the Agency will support optimization of office and laboratory space to right-size the Agency's footprint, while supporting activities necessary for lab consolidation, retrofitting of laboratories with technologies and AI automation, and releasing of excess office space in high- cost areas. These investments along with ongoing activities will decrease the growth of long-term rent costs, reduce its footprint, and create a more efficient, collaborative, and technolo

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
