USCG requires support to transition from current hardcopy archive, review and approval process to an electronic workflow management system integrated with Homeport, a Government-Owned Contractor-Operated (GOCO), secure, enterprise Internet portal used to provide critical information and service delivery to the public, maritime industry, and the USCG. ( http://homeport.uscg.mil ) A prospective source company should maintain an internal quality system based on ANSI/ASQC Q9001 or an equivalent quality standard. Currently, the USCG Office of Vessel Activities (G-PCV-1) maintains approximately 816 active tank Vessel Response Plans (VRPs) covering approximately 7,200 tank vessels. Foreign and domestic oil tank vessel owners and operators submit these plans in order to comply with the requirements of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended by the OPA 90. G-PCV-1 maintains approximately 1,717 Nontank Vessel Response Plans (NTVRPs) covering approximately 9,440 self-propelled Nontank Vessels of 400 Gross Tons and greater, that carry oil as fuel for main propulsion.

The USCG maintains approximately 2,784 SOPEPs covering 2,800 active vessels. Owners or operators of U.S. flagged vessels submit SOPEPs to comply with the requirements of Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 151, and Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78. The USCG maintains approximately 297 SMPEP (-NLS) s, covering 300 vessels. Owners or operators of U.S. flagged vessels submit SMPEPs to comply with the requirements of and Regulation 16 of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78, The Coast Guard is developing regulations that will require the owners or operators of certain vessels carrying hazardous substances and noxious liquid substances in bulk to prepare and submit to the USCG for approval, Vessel Hazardous Substance Response Plans (VHSRP).
