Federal On-Scene Coordinator Response Assets

Federal On-Scene Coordinators have enforcement authorities under CERLCA and the CWA to include the authority to request information, obtain access to an incident site, compel RPs to undertake cleanup actions, and obtain reimbursement of federal response costs. They have access to federal technical assistance and contractors for cleanup and salvage, and technical expertise and special equipment from federal agencies and specialized teams. Federal On-Scene Coordinators also have the authority to access Superfund and/or Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) funding.
