Title: ●Temporary Suspension of Certain Oil Spill Response Time Requirements to Support Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill of National Significance (SONS) Response 
Abstract: This emergency temporary final rule suspends certain oil spill response time requirements and notification requirements for certain facilities and vessels. This rule provides oil spill removal organizations (OSROs), and facilities and vessels with their own response resources, with the ability to relocate response resources from current locations to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This action facilitates the participation of OSROs, facilities and vessels located outside of the Gulf region. This temporary final rule is effective until December 31, 2010.
