On June 16th 2010, The Obama Administration and BP announced the creation of the $20 billion dollar "Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund" to provide a faster and more fair way to pay damage claims for individuals and businesses harmed by the Gulf Oil Spill. BP has agreed to contribute $5 Billion per year to the fund until the $20 billion dollars is depleted, including $5 billion in 2010.
President Barak Obama has appointed Kenneth Feinberg to be the administrator of the BP Claims Fund. Mr. Feinberg was previously the administrator of the U.S. Governments $7 billion dollar September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and he has stated that he intends for the $20 Billion BP Oil Spill Claims Fund to be administered by his facility, totally independent of BP and the Obama Administration.
