Who is eligible to receive financial assistance from the PRCF?
A responsible person or a person who has custody of a responsible person’s property is eligible to apply for financial assistance from the PRCF. The term “responsible person” refers to the person who owned or operated a tank or tank system during or after a release. A person who is eligible for financial assistance from the PRCF is called a “covered party”. Most tank owners are automatically covered. Pre-registration with the PRCF is not required.
