The committee recommends passage of the amended bill H.R. 1232, which provides a liability and compensation mechanism for oil spills. The Bill represents a continuing effort to develop comprehensive procedures to deal with the economic losses from oil spill damage. The report reviews the background leading up to the current Bill, describes how the legislation will work in terms of fines and refunds, establishes liability limits, and compares it with other legislation. A summary of testimony received, subcommittee and full committee votes, and a section-by section analysis of the Bill follow.
