Dear Mr. Leopold
I am responding to your FOIA request regarding the ARM and exhibits related to the BP
complaint. I am enclosing all but 2 exhibits of the 36 exhibits. The remaining two will need to
be reviewed for CBI once BP releases them to us to see if they are determined to be CBI by
EPAs Office of General Counsel.
If you consider this response to be a denial, you may appeal it by addressing your appeal to the
Freedom of Information Officer (1105A), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Avenue, Room 2315, Washington, D.C. 20460. FAX: (202) 566-2147, E-mail:
hqfoia@epa.gov. The appeal must be made in writing, and it must be submitted no later than 30
calendar days from the date of this letter. Your appeal should refer to the RIN number listed
above, the date of this determination, and my name, title and address. The Agency will not
consider appeals received after the 30 calendar day limit. For quickest possible handling, the
appeal letter and its envelope should be marked Freedom of Information Act Appeal.
You may reach me 202-564-5326 if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Ellen P. OBoyle

BP Code of Conduct
Welcome to our Code of Conduct. This book sets out the basic rules we must
all follow in BP and explains how our values should guide all of our decisions.
The Code provides information on where to find more detailed standards
and guidance on particular subjects. in other words, it helps us do the right thing
when we're faoed with difficult decisions. This builds trust and has a positive
effectonthosewetouch.
Laws vary from country to country and we must always com ply with them,
but as a global company, we need to go further. To be a trusted company, year
after year, we need to work to a consistent and higher set of standards and
follow them in everything we do and say, every day, everywhere we work.
All of us at BP, without exception, are duty bound to follow and uphold our
Code of Conduct -and we must all remember that failure to do so can
put BP and ourselves at risk.
If you are ever concerned that our Code is not being followed, or simply feel
unsure about any situation, it is vital that you speak up and ask a question or
share your concern straightaway. Inside you will find details of the different
ways to do this, including our confidential help! ine, OpenTalk.
Our reputation, and our future success, rests on each of us taking personal
responsibility for putting our Code into practice. Together we can show the
world that BP is a company united by strong values -a companyofwhich
we are proud to be a part.
We say what is true. We do what is right.

What our Code
is all about
Our Code gives us the guidance and support we need to
conduct our business ethically and to comply with the law.
These two things are vital to our success.
Our Code represents our commitment to do the right thing,
including respecting the rights of others. By being part of BP
you are agreeing to uphold this commitment. If you do not, you
could put yourself, your colleagues and BP at risk. Put simply,
failure to follow this Code is misconduct, which could result in
disciplinary action and even dismissal.
No part of our Code can be waived without prior approval
which reflects our wholehearted commitment to it. This will
be coordinated by the Group Ethics & Compliance Officer,
who will obtain approvals and make sure all appropriate reports
and representations are made. This includes those required by
law. Waivers will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

Appropriately exchanging
gifts and entertainment
At a glance
In detail
We only give or accept gifts and entertainment that are for business
purposes and are not material or frequent.
Exchanging gifts and sharing entertainment in connection with a
legitimate business purpose can foster constructive relationships with
third parties. However, gifts and entertainment should never affect,
or appear to affect, impartial decision-making by BP employees or
any third party. They should never be offered or received in exchange
for preferential treatment in any business dealing.
Certain gifts and entertainment can erode others' trust in BP and
must be avoided. These include any gifts or entertainment that appear
to be bribes, raise questions about conflicts of interest for you or BP. or
would damage BP's reputation.
It is never appropriate to attempt to bias a decision by offering personal
benefits to a government official or anyone else. We support laws
prohibiting bribery and corruption, which often include stringent rules
concerning gifts and entertainment involving government officials
and other third parties.
'Hosting' is another strictly regulated activity which involves paying
for a third party's (such as a government official or an employee of a
commercial entity) travel, accommodation or daily living expenses
in conjunction with their visit to a BP office, site or other location for
the purposes of promoting, demonstrating or explaining the benefits
of BP products or technology. We always follow laws or rules
concerning the hosting of government officials and any other of
our business partners.

In detail
From time to time some countries
impose trade restrictions covering specified
countries, entities and individuals. This may
include the US, UK and other EU countries.
They also periodically impose controls on the
export and the end use of certain products,
technology, software and services.
The penalties for breaking these laws, which
sometimes apply outside the legislating
country, can be very serious. Penalties
include fines, debarment from working on
government contracts, revocation of permits
to export, and imprisonment.
Trade restrictions typically cover:
Exports or re-exports to a prohibited or
sanctioned country, entity or individual
without the appropriate licence or
authorization.
Imports or property dealings from,
or originating in, a sanctioned country.
Imports or property dealings with
a sanctioned entity or individual.
Business dealings with a sanctioned
country, entity or individual.
The transfer of restricted software,
technical data or technology without a
licence- by email, download or disclosure
to people in or from sanctioned countries.
Always
Follow the Group Trade Sanctions
Standard and any additional requirements
that apply to your specific business
activities.
Consult with Legal immediately if you
are asked to deal with a sanctioned or
restricted country, entity or individual.
Make sure that products and technology
for import or export are classified in
advance. Use the relevant country control
list to determine licensing requirements.
Make sure that all required labelling,
documentation, licences and approvals
are in place. Contact Legal for assistance
and legal advice.
Ensure that all transaction parties are
screened against the relevant restricted
party lists.

Introduction
The BP Board is responsible for the direction and oversight of BP pic (BP) on behalf of
the shareholders and is accountable to them, as owners, for all aspects of BP's business.
The Board recognises that in conducting its business, BP should be responsive to other
relevant constituencies.
The BP Board believes that good governance involves the clarity of roles and responsibilities,
and the proper utilisation of distinct skills and processes. The Board therefore focuses on
activities that enable it to promote shareholders' interests, such as the active consideration
of long-term strategy, the monitoring of executive action, and ongoing Board and executive
management succession.
that the governance of BP is best achieved by the delegation of
The Board
its authority for the executive management of BP to the Group Chief Executive (GCE)
subject to defined limits and monitoring by the Board.
To reflect this approach, these Board Governance Principles (the Board Principles)
are designed to enable the Board and the executive management to operate within
a clear governance framework.

The Board will monitor the decisions and actions of the GCE and the performance
of BP including:
(a) the implementation of, and performance against, the Strategy and the Plan; and
(b) the exercise of authority delegated to the GCE.
The Board will satisfy itself that:
(a) the material risks to BP are identified and understood and that systems of
risk management. compliance and control are in place to mitigate such risks; and
(b) its expectations for the conduct of BP's business and its employees are
reflected in a set of values established by the GCE.

The performance and contribution of individual directors as members of the Board will
be reviewed periodically, with the Chairman's performance being reviewed annually.
The performance of the GCE will be monitored solely by the Non-Executive directors.
The performance of the Executive directors will be monitored by the GCE and the
Non-Executive directors.
3.4.5 Board Induction and Education
An induction programme and continuing training and education will be available to all
directors to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities as directors.
3.4.6 Other Directorships

Non-Executive directors must be prepared to give sufficient time for the discharge
of their BP responsibilities.
All directors should regularly inform the Board through the Company Secretary,
of other directorships they hold. The Nomination Committee will keep under review
the commitments of Non-Executive directors and make recommendations to the Board
if the Committee concludes that a director's other commitments are inconsistent
with those required by BP
