To accomplish this goal, the regulations require certain facilities to prepare and implement SPCC plans. Respondent further certifies, subject to civil and criminal penalties for making a false submission to the United States Government, that the violations identified in the Violations Form have been corrected and the facility is now in full compliance with the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations.
