Guam Oil Spill Responders Act - Chapter 54A of 12 GCA “Public Health Safety”.

This Chapter defines liability for damages for oil spills. No person, including but not limited to an oil spill response organization (i.e. a private organization established for the primary purpose and activity of preventing or rendering care, assistance, equipment or advice in response to a discharge or threatened discharge of oil) shall be liable under the laws of Guam or the common law to any person for damages or claims as a result of actions taken or omitted to be taken in the course of actions consistent with the National Contingency Plan National Plan made under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or carried out at the direction of an on-site coordinator, Federal On-Scene Coordinator or the U.S. Coast Guard or as otherwise directed by the President, or the Governor of Guam, in response to a discharge or threatened discharge of oil. This exemption shall not apply to responsible party (as defined in section 1), to actions for personal injury or wrongful death or if a person commits acts of gross negligence or wilful misconduct in connection with the cleanup of a discharge of oil. A responsible party is liable for any removal costs and damages that another person or an oil spill response organization is relieved of under subsection (a) of section 2.
