Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text is based on a GAO report on oil spill costs and select program updates on the San Francisco spill. It answers three questions: How many major spills have occurred since 1990, and what is their total cost? What factors affect the cost of spills? What are the implications of major oil spills for the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund? |
