AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard announces
the recertification of the Prince William
Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory
Council (PWSRCAC) as an alternative
voluntary advisory group for Prince
William Sound, Alaska. This
certification allows the PWSRCAC to

facilities and crude oil tankers under an
alternative composition, other than
prescribed, the Prince William Sound
Program established by the Oil Terminal
and Oil Tanker Environmental
Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990.
DATES: This recertification is effective
for the period from March 1, 2023
through February 29, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard published guidelines
on December 31, 1992 (57 FR 62600), to
assist groups seeking recertification
under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker
Environmental Oversight and
Monitoring Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2732)
(the Act). The Coast Guard issued a
policy statement on July 7, 1993 (58 FR
36504), to clarify the factors that the
Coast Guard would be considering in
making its determination as to whether
advisory groups should be certified in
accordance with the Act, and the
procedures which the Coast Guard
would follow in meeting its certification
responsibilities under the Act. Most
recently, on September 16, 2002 (67 FR
58440), the Coast Guard changed its
policy on recertification procedures for
regional citizen’s advisory council by
requiring applicants to provide
comprehensive information every three
years. For each of the two years between
the triennial application procedures,
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 only
solicited during the triennial
comprehensive review.
The Alyeska Pipeline Service
Company pays the PWSRCAC $3.7
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, nonprofit 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
‘‘alternative voluntary advisory group.’’
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company
funds the PWSRCAC, and the Coast
Guard ensures the PWSRCAC operates
in a fashion that is broadly consistent
with OPA 90.
Discussion of Comments
On December 22, 2022, the Coast
Guard published a Notice; Request for
comments titled ‘‘Application for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:20 Mar 28, 2023
Jkt 259001
Recertification of Prince William Sound
Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council’’ in
the Federal Register (87 FR 78701). We
received 76 comments, all in support of
the PWSRCAC recertification. No public
meeting was requested. The comments
consistently cited PWSRCAC’s
collaborative partnerships in furthering
the respective communities’ interest to
promote safety, to maintain effective
prevention and response efforts
regarding oil pollution, and to protect
the sensitive marine environment along
Alaska’s coastline.
Recertification
By letter dated February 25, 2023, the
Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard
District, certified that the PWSRCAC
qualifies as an alternative voluntary
advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o).
This recertification terminates on
February 29, 2024.

Services Demonstration (demonstration,

Congress for an additional two years in
the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2021. The demonstration tests the
Integrated Wellness in Supportive
Housing (IWISH) model and is designed
to learn whether structured health and
wellness support can help older adults
living in affordable housing successfully
age in place. The demonstration funds
a full-time Resident Wellness Director
and part-time Wellness Nurse to work in
HUD-assisted housing developments
that either predominantly or exclusively
serve households headed by people
aged 62 and over. The demonstration is
testing whether IWISH will affect
unplanned hospitalizations and the use
of other types of acute care with high
healthcare costs, the use of primary and
nonacute care, the length of stay in
housing, transitions to long-term care
facilities, and mortality. Eligible HUDassisted properties applied for the
