## Abstract

In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or "the Agency") is conforming the listing of trustee designations for natural resources in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) in accordance with Executive Order (E.O.) 13626, "Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration," issued on September 10, 2012. E.O. 13626 designated the Administrator of EPA and the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to act as additional trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessment and restoration solely in connection with injury to, destruction of, loss of, or loss of use of natural resources, including their supporting ecosystems, resulting from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The Administrator's and Secretary's trusteeship became effective immediately pursuant to the President's designation. This action is being taken pursuant to a directive in the Executive Order to revise Subpart G of the NCP to reflect the additional designations for the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. This action applies to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill only, and does not affect any prior or subsequent designations.
