On March

aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William
Sound in Alaska spilling approximately
11 million gallons of North Slope crude
oil. Oil moved into the Gulf of Alaska,

and the Alaska Peninsula—some 600
miles from Bligh Reef. Massive clean up
and containment efforts were initiated
and continued to 1992. On October 8,
1991, an agreement was approved by the
United States District Court for the
District of Alaska that settled claims of
the United States and the State of
Alaska against the Exxon Corporation
and the Exxon Shipping Company for
various criminal and civil violations.

Under the civil settlement, Exxon
agreed to pay to the governments $900
million over a period of 10 years. An
additional 5-year period was established
to possibly make additional claims.
The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee

Game) and three Federal representatives
appointed by the Federal Trustees
(Secretary, US Department of
Agriculture; the Administrator of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration; and the secretary, US
Department of the Interior).
The Public Advisory Committee was
created pursuant to Paragraph V.A.4 of
the Memorandum of Agreement and
Consent Decree entered into by the
United States of America and the State
of Alaska on August 27, 1991, and
approved by the United States District
Court for the District of Alaska in
settlement of United States of America
v. State of Alaska, Civil Action No.

1992, and functions solely as an
advisory body, and in compliance with
the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C.
App.).
The Public Advisory Committee was
established to advise the Trustee
Council, and began functioning in
October 1992. The Public Advisory
Committee consists of 15 members
representing the following principal
interests: sport hunting and fishing,
conservation and environmental,
public-at-large, recreation users,
commercial tourism, local government,
science/technical, subsistence,
commercial fishing, aquaculture and
mariculture, regional monitoring
programs, tribal government, marine
transportation, and Native landowners.
Members are appointed to serve a 2-year
term.
To carry out its advisory role, the
Public Advisory Committee makes
recommendations to, and advises, the
Trustee Council in Alaska on the
following matters:
All decisions related to injury assessment,
restoration activities, or other use of natural
resource damage recovery monies obtained
by the governments, including all decisions

of viewpoints is stated in the Public
Advisory Committee Background and
Guidelines: ‘‘The Trustee Council
intends that the Public Advisory
Committee be established as an
important component of the Council’s
public involvement process.’’ The
Council continues, stating their desire
that ‘‘* * * a wide spectrum of views
and interest are available for the Council
to consider as it evaluates, develops,
and implements restoration activities. It
is the Council’s intent that the diversity
of interests and views held by the Public
Advisory Committee members
contribute to wide ranging discussions
that will be of benefit to the Trustee
Council.’’
In order to ensure that a broad range
of public viewpoints continues to be
available to the Trustee Council, and in
keeping with the settlement agreement,
the continuation of the Public Advisory
Committee for another 2-year period is
recommended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee et seq.) requires the
Service to develop a Comprehensive
Conservation Plan (CCP) for each
National Wildlife Refuge. The purpose
for developing a CCP is to provide
refuge managers with a 15-year strategy
for achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(Refuge System), consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife science,
conservation, legal mandates, and
Service policies. In addition to outlining
broad management direction for
conserving wildlife and their habitats,
the CCPs identify wildlife-dependent
recreational opportunities available to
the public, including opportunities for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. The
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, requires the
Service to review and update these
CCPs at least every 15 years. Revisions
to the CCP will be prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370d).
The San Diego Bay National Wildlife
Refuge is located approximately 10
miles north of the United States-Mexico
border in southwestern San Diego
County, California. Collectively, the two
Refuge Units encompass approximately
2,620 acres of land and water in and
around the south end of San Diego Bay.
The coastal wetlands protected within
this Refuge annually provide essential
foraging and resting habitat for tens of
thousands of migratory shorebirds and
wintering waterfowl traveling along the
Pacific Flyway.
The Sweetwater Marsh Unit was
established as a National Wildlife
Refuge in 1988. Encompassing
approximately 316 acres, this Refuge
was established to protect federally
listed endangered and threatened
