Background

The Coast Guard, the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), the Research

and Special Programs Administration

(RSPA), and the Minerals Management

Service (MMS), in concert with the

states, the oil industry and concerned

citizens, developed the Preparedness for

Response Exercise Program (PREP).

PREP was developed to establish a

workable oil pollution response exercise

program, which meets the intent of

section 4204(a) of the Oil Pollution Act

of 1990. PREP provides a mechanism for

compliance with the exercise

requirements, while being economically

feasible for the government and oil

industry to adopt and sustain. Since the

inception of PREP, public meetings have

been held periodically to assess the

continuing vitality of the program. The

last meeting, in August of 1997,

concluded that no changes were

necessary to the program at that time.

Since then, several changes have been

proposed or implemented which

influence the way government and

industry prepare for and respond to oil

and hazardous substance incidents in

the United States. As a result, some

changes to the PREP program may be

appropriate.

Therefore, the Coast Guard, EPA,

RSPA, and MMS are holding a public

workshop to conduct an assessment of

the current PREP program. At the

workshop, each agency will briefly

outline its concerns with the current

program and solicit participant input on

resolution of those concerns, either

through amendment of the PREP

Guidelines or other means. Other

participating stakeholders, including

states and industry, will be invited to

discuss their concerns as well. The

workshop will reaffirm the vitality of

the PREP program as it currently exists

or identify outstanding concerns and

gain commitment on the part of

participants to a plan of action to

resolve those concerns. It is anticipated

that one or more additional workshops

may be scheduled in order to resolve

any outstanding concerns.

Workshop Agenda

The workshop will address current

concerns with PREP, specifically: What

should the PREP goals be for the next

5 years? Is the program sufficiently

dynamic and robust to address the

needs of plan holders, area committees

and the response community in general?

In order to discuss these issues, we will

follow the agenda in Table 1.

during the workshop are asked to notify
