SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Interagency Committee is a thirteen
member Federal agency committee to coordinate Federal oil spill
research and development efforts. It was created by section 7001(a)(2)
of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-380), to coordinate oil
pollution research, technology development, and demonstration among the
Federal agencies, in cooperation and coordination with industry,
universities, research institutions, State governments, and other
nations. The areas of interest to the Interagency Committee are: Spill
Prevention; Spill Response Planning and Management; Spill Response;
Fate, Transport and Effects of Oil; and Restoration and Rehabilitation.
The Interagency Committee is especially interested in assessing the
current state of research within the private sector to avoid
duplication of effort and more efficiently use scarce R&D resources.
Presentations will be limited to ongoing or planned research on oil
pollution related R&D. No proprietary commercial information will be
presented.
Presentation proposals should include name, address, and
organizational affiliation of the presenter, a brief description of the
subject matter, and an estimate of the amount of time desired for the
presentation. The date, time, and agenda for the meeting will be
announced by a separate notice in the Federal Register. The Interagency
Committee reserves the right to limit the number and length of
presentations.
