Agency (EPA), the Pipeline and 

Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration (PHMSA) and the 

Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement (BSEE). Completion of the 

PREP exercises will satisfy all OPA 90 

mandated Federal oil pollution response 

exercise requirements. 

The four Federal agencies referenced 

above published the PREP Guidelines in 

1994 and revised them in 2002. The 

2002 edition is available in the docket 

as described in the ADDRESSES section 

above. The agencies are now 

considering revising the PREP 

Guidelines again in order to reflect 

agency reorganizations, preparedness 

and response lessons learned, and new 

regulations, including the Coast Guard’s 

Salvage and Marine Firefighting 

regulations. We invite public comment 

on what changes, if any, should be made 

to update or improve the PREP 

Guidelines. 

This notice is part of a two-stage 

public comment process. The comments 

received from the public on what, if 

any, suggested changes would be 

appropriate to the current version of the 

PREP Guidelines will be used to inform 

the revision process. After considering 

all of the comments, we anticipate 

making a revised draft of the PREP 

Guidelines available for public review 

and comment in the future. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 33 U.S.C. 1321(j), 5 U.S.C. 552(a), and 

33 CFR 1.05–1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

communities engaged in planning 

efforts that support community

grant recipients, HUD Preferred

Assistance recipients and Brownfield 

Area Wide Planning grant recipients 

(collectively—Sustainable Communities 

GranteesÕ), and enable them to fulfill 

their anticipated outcomes. HUD and 

other Partnership agencies will work 

regularly with all selected intermediary 

service providers to maintain a 

coordinated and leveraged delivery 

approach that ensures the maximum 

benefit to local governments, regions, 

and planning entities and partners 

engaged in the prescribed activities. 

The second purpose of the Program is 

to build a national coalition and 

leadership network of the Sustainable 

Communities Grantees. The purpose of 

the network is to facilitate the exchange 

of successful strategies, lessons learned, 

emerging tools and public engagement 

strategies, and approaches for avoiding 

or minimizing pitfalls. HUD will work 

with the selected intermediaries to 

develop a robust evaluation component 

for the network.
