The CG is the statutory designated federal responder for spills in coastal waters. Of course, they'd have to work through contractors.

"... EPA is the lead federal response agency for oil spills occurring in inland waters, and the U.S. COAST GUARD is the lead response agency for spills in coastal waters and deepwater ports."

One thing I don't understand is how they had a 'spill of national significance' preparedness exercise in March but weren't better prepared for a spill of national significance in April.
