A Facility Response Plan (FRP) demonstrates a facility's preparedness to respond to a worst case oil discharge. Under the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act, certain facilities that store and use oil are required to prepare and submit these plans. As part of the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation, the FRP rule addresses:

• Who must prepare and submit an FRP
• What must be included in an FRP
• Potential to cause "substantial harm" in the event of a discharge

The FRP rule was published on July 1, 1994, and codified at 40 CFR 112.20 and 112.21, including Appendices B through F. Several revisions to the FRP rule were considered or finalized, including differentiated requirements for animal fats and vegetable oils in 2000.
