NCP Product Schedule and Notebook

Section 311(d)(2) of the Clean Water Act and Section 4201(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 require the preparation of a "schedule of dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any, that may be authorized for use on oil discharges..." (300.905(a)). Subpart J (40 CFR Part 300.910) of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) governs the use of dispersants and other chemical and biological agents that may be listed on this schedule. The EPA prepares and maintains this schedule, known as the NCP Product Schedule.

The Product Schedule contains five product categories:

  • Dispersants
  • Surface washing agents
  • Surface collecting agents
  • Bioremediation agents
  • Miscellaneous oil spill control agents

The Notebook presents summary information on the conditions under which the products may be used.
