II. 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 the two years in between,
applicants only submit information
describing substantive changes to the
information provided at the last
triennial recertification. This is the year
in this triennial cycle that CIRCAC must
provide comprehensive information.
The Coast Guard is accepting
comments concerning the recertification
of CIRCAC. At the conclusion of the
comment period on August 4, 2023, the
Coast Guard will review all application
materials and comments received and
will take one of the following actions:
(a) Recertify the advisory group under
33 U.S.C. 2732(o);
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(b) Issue a conditional recertification
for a period of 90 days, with a statement
of any discrepancies, which must be
corrected to qualify for recertification
for the remainder of the year; or
(c) Deny recertification of the advisory
group if the Coast Guard finds that the
group is not broadly representative of
the interests and communities in the
area or is not adequately fostering the
goals and purposes of 33 U.S.C. 2732.
The Coast Guard will notify CIRCAC
by letter of the action taken on its
application. A notice will be published
in the Federal Register to advise the
public of the Coast Guard’s
determination.
Dated: May 26, 2023.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
