EPA FRS ER_FRP: Oil Spill Response Facility Locations

EPA's Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides location and identification data for facilities subject to Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements for oil spill prevention and response. These 'substantial harm facilities' are identified and geospatially located using data integrated from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal records. The dataset is restricted to internal EPA use and was last updated on 2026-03-26.

Use Cases

• Mapping high-risk oil storage facilities based on geospatial location data.
• Analyzing facility characteristics for oil spill prevention planning.
• Integrating facility data from multiple regulatory sources for centralized management.

Strengths

• Data is integrated from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records.
• Facilities are subject to specific regulatory requirements (Facility Response Plan) for oil spills.
• Location data is geospatially verified.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
