About this opportunity
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to update national estimates of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil spill occurrence rates. The key objectives are to 1) update oil spill rates for OCS platforms, pipelines, and U.S. barges, 2) obtain oil spill data for BOEM's Offshore Environmental Cost Model (OECM), and 3) analyze oil spill trends and causal factors. Eligible applicants include state governments, public/state higher education institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The resulting 508-compliant report will help BOEM analyze the potential risk and consequences of OCS oil spills, enhance oil spill response planning, and inform future regulatory reforms.
BOEM is seeking a single cooperative agreement award between $435,000 and $485,000 with a 24-month period of performance. This opportunity is funded under BOEM's Environmental Studies program (CFDA #15.423). The application deadline is August 2, 2024, with an anticipated award start date of September 16, 2024.
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
The overarching goals of this study are 1) to update oil spill rates of OCS platforms, OCS pipelines, and U.S. barges, 2) to obtain oil spill information for BOEM's Offshore Environmental Cost Model (OECM), 3) to analyze oil spill trend and casual factors. Having updated oil spill and oil spill occurrence rate data is critically important to analyze the potential risk and consequence of OCS oil spills, investigate causal factors contributing to the occurrence, size or frequency of oil spills, enhance oil-spill response planning, and target future regulatory reform to better manage risk.
Specific objectives are:
- Compilation of oil spill data and QA/QC of the data
- Examination of historical spill occurrences and of volume of oil handled
- Analysis of other potential exposure variables
- Estimate spill occurrence rates and normalize these rates based on number of spills per volume handled and other potential exposure variables
- Analyses on oil spill trend and casual factors
- Provide information for OECM model
- Prepare a 508 compliant report according to BOEM's specifications.
