Foreign Spill Protection Act of 2016

Sponsored By: Representative Curbelo, Carlos [R-FL-26]

Unknown

Summary

Foreign Spill Protection Act of 2015 This bill amends the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to make the owner or operator of a foreign offshore unit liable for removal costs and specified damages that result from a discharge, or substantial threat of discharge, of oil from such unit that reaches or threatens to reach: (1) U.S. navigable waters or adjoining shorelines, or (2) the exclusive economic zone. A "foreign offshore unit" is a facility that is located in the territorial sea or on the continental shelf of a foreign country that is used for oil exploration, drilling, production, or related activities. The bill also amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to: (1) prohibit the discharge of oil from a foreign offshore unit that reaches the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or waters of the contiguous zone; and (2) subject the owner or operator of the unit to penalties under that Act.
