SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Section 7001(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) 
established the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Oil Pollution 
Research. The purpose of the Interagency Committee is twofold: (1) To 
prepare a comprehensive, coordinated Federal oil pollution research and 
development (R&D) plan; and (2) to promote cooperation with industry, 
universities, research institutions, state governments, and other 
nations through information sharing, coordinated planning, and joint 
funding of projects. The Interagency Committee was commissioned with 13 
members and is chaired by the Coast Guard. Membership includes:

--National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
--National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
--Department of Energy (DOE)
--Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement 
(BOEMRE)--formally known as MMS
--United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
--Maritime Administration (MARAD)
--Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
--United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
--United States Navy (USN)
--Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

    Section 7001(b) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 required the 
Interagency Committee to prepare an Oil Pollution Research and 
Technology Plan. The Interagency Committee prepared the original Oil 
Pollution Research and Development (R&D) Technology Plan to define the 
roles of each Federal agency involved in oil spill research and 
development. The plan was submitted to Congress in April 1992 and later 
reviewed by the National Research Council's Committee on Oil Spill 
Research and Development under the auspices of the Marine Board. Using 
input from the Marine Board, the Committee revised the plan in May 1993 
to address spill prevention, human factors, and the field testing/
demonstration of developed response technologies. The current version 
of the plan, still based on Marine Board recommendations, is dated 
April 1997. The Interagency Committee is coordinating an update of the 
Technology Plan during the next two fiscal years.
