Abstract

ABSTRACT Limited liability for oil spill responders encourages aggressive actions that can maximize response efforts. The Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC), the world's largest oil spill response corporation, launched a nationwide campaign in 1991 to encourage the passage of responder immunity as contained in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 in the coastal states and jurisdictions of the United States. As a national and not-for-profit organization, MSRC was a viable catalyst for successfully advocating the adoption of responder immunity. By the end of 1992, the 25 states/jurisdictions in MSRC's primary operating area had adopted responder immunity.
