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
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). This recertification
terminates on February 28, 2010.
