Question 2580 Deck General

The correct answer is C) National Response Center (USCG). Regardless of local requirements, all oil spills in U.S. ports must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC), which is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. This is a federal requirement under the Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The NRC serves as the central point of contact for reporting all oil, chemical, radiological, biological, and other discharges into the environment. The other options (A, B, and D) are incorrect because the EPA and Minerals Management Service do not serve as the primary reporting agency for all oil spills in U.S. ports.
