On October 18, 1991, the President delegated his authority under 33 U.S.C 2732(o) to the Secretary of Transportation in Executive Order 12777, section 8(g) (see 56 FR 54757; Oct. 22, 1991), for purposes of certifying advisory councils, or groups, subject to the Act. On March 3, 1992, the Secretary redelegated that authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard (see 57 FR 8582; Mar. 11, 1992).

On July 7, 1993, the Coast Guard published a policy statement (58 FR 36504), to clarify the factors that shall be considered in making the determination as to whether advisory councils, or groups, should be certified in accordance with the Act. The Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Environmental Protection (G-M), redelegated recertification authority for advisory councils, or groups, to the Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard District, on February 26, 1999 (letter #16450). On September 16, 2002, the Coast Guard published a policy statement (67 FR 58440), that changed the recertification procedures such that applicants are required to provide the Coast Guard with comprehensive information every three years (triennially). For each of the two years between the triennial application procedure, applicants submit a letter requesting recertification that includes a description of any substantive changes to the information provided at the previous triennial recertification. Further, public comment is not solicited prior to recertification during streamlined years, only during the triennial comprehensive review. The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company pays the PWSRCAC $2.9 million annually in the form of a longterm contract. In return for this funding, the PWSRCAC must annually show that it ‘‘fosters the goals and purposes’’ of OPA 90 and is ‘‘broadly representative of the communities and interests in the vicinity of the terminal facilities and Prince William Sound.’’ The PWSRCAC is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1989. Though it receives Federal oversight like many independent, non-profit organizations, it is not a Federal agency. The PWSRCAC is a local organization that predates the passage of OPA 90. The existence of the PWSRCAC was specifically recognized in OPA 90 where it is defined as an ‘‘alternate voluntary advisory group.’’ Alyeska funds the PWSRCAC, and the Coast Guard makes sure the PWSRCRC operates in a fashion that is broadly consistent with OPA 90. Recertification: By letter dated March 10, 2009, the Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard, certified that the PWSRCAC qualifies as an alternative voluntary advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o).

Commandant redelegated that authority to the Chief, Office of Marine 
Safety, Security and Environmental Protection (G-M), on March 19, 1992 
(letter 5402).
    On July 7, 1993, the Coast Guard published a policy statement (58 
FR 36504), to clarify the factors that shall be considered in making 
the determination as to whether advisory councils, or groups, should be 
certified in accordance with the Act.
    The Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Environmental 
Protection (G-M), redelegated recertification authority for advisory 
councils, or groups, to the Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard 
District, on February 26, 1999 (letter 16450).
    On September 16, 2002, the Coast Guard published a policy statement 
(67 FR 58440), that changed the recertification procedures such that 
applicants are required to provide the Coast Guard with comprehensive 
information every three years (triennially). For each of the two years

requesting recertification that includes a description of any 
substantive changes to the information provided at the previous 
triennial recertification. Further, public comment is not solicited 
prior to recertification during streamlined years, only during the

alternative voluntary advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o). This 
recertification terminates on February 28, 2010.
