OPA 90 (Oil Pollution Act of 1990) Закон о загрязнении нефтью 1990 г. был принят 101-м Конгрессом США и подписан президентом Джорджем Бушем-старшим. Он работает, чтобы избежать разливов нефти с судов и объектов, обеспечивая удаление разлитой нефти и возлагая ответственность за расходы на очистку и ущерб; требует определенных операционных процедур; определяет ответственных лиц и финансовую ответственность; реализует процессы измерения ущерба; указывает ущерб, за который несут ответственность нарушители; и учреждает фонд для возмещения ущерба, расходов на очистку и удаление.
Этот закон привел к существенным изменениям в нефтедобывающей, транспортной и распределительной отраслях.
