A Facility Response Plan (FRP) demonstrates a facility's preparedness to respond to a worst case oil discharge.

• A. Facility Response Plan
• B. Emergency Response Plan
• C. Contingency Plan
• D. Spill Response Strategy

Answer: (A)

This question focuses on regulatory preparedness for oil spills at facilities. A Facility Response Plan is the formal, regulator-required document that shows a facility is prepared to respond to the worst-case oil discharge. It outlines who does what, what resources are available, how staff are trained, and how the facility will coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies to contain and cleanup spills. This readiness to act quickly and effectively to minimize environmental damage is the essence of the plan.

The other terms refer to related ideas but not the specific regulatory document described. An Emergency Response Plan covers general emergency actions, a Contingency Plan is a broader plan for disruptions, and a Spill Response Strategy is more of an approach than the formal plan required for worst-case discharges. Therefore, the document that best fits the description is the Facility Response Plan.
