The Obama administration has sent a $69 million bill to BP for the U.S. government’s efforts to help deal with the energy company’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The bill was sent to “other responsible parties” in addition to BP, according to the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command, which is the government and industry task force managing the spill response.

The Obama administration will bill BP regularly for costs related to the spill.
