The National On-Scene Commander can stop a marine oil spill response with the Director's consent. You need to know that the Director is in charge of the Authority. The Authority is the group that responds to marine oil spills.
A regional on-scene commander can also stop a marine oil spill response, but only for their own regional council. This means they can only stop the response for the group they work for. They are in charge of responding to marine oil spills in their own area.
