In the international context, the state is the primary subject of international law. State refers to the independent and sovereign entity consisting of a territory, a population and a government.

In an average year, some 14,000 cases of oil pollution are reported. Many are corrected by those responsible. When clean up of a spill is beyond the physical or financial capability of those responsible, local, state, and federal forces become involved. Thus, there are many public agencies, at all levels of government, trained in all aspects of oil pollution control. The lead Federal Response Agency is EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for land spills, and the Coast Guard for spills at sea. These agencies have published many information bulletins and letters, most of which are available on the Internet. Several are listed in the references to this chapter.
