## What this funds

The Maritime Oil Spill Program operates under the authority of Title I of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), as amended, which provides for the use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) to pay for the Federal response to oil spills and claims for uncompensated removal costs and damages resulting from such spills. The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the U.S. Coast Guard's (USCG) Marine Environment Protection mission and Maritime Response Program. Executive Order 12777, section seven, delegated the management responsibility of the OSLTF to the Secretary of the Department in which the USCG operates. Upon re-delegation by the Secretary, the Commandant of the USCG delegated this responsibility to the National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC). The NPFC oversees the OSLTF. The NPFC: Funds Federal removal actions in response to discharges and substantial threats of discharge of oil to navigable waters of the United States. Compensates claimants for OPA removal costs and damages. Funds natural resource trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessments. Administers the OSLTF.
