Commandant redelegated that authority 

to the Chief, Office of Marine Safety, 

Security and Environmental Protection 

(G-M), on March 19, 1992 (letter #5402). 

On July 7, 1993, the Coast Guard 

published a policy statement (58 FR 

36504), to clarify the factors that shall 

be considered in making the 

determination as to whether advisory 

councils, or groups, should be certified 

in accordance with the Act. 

The Assistant Commandant for 

Marine Safety and Environmental 

Protection (G-M), redelegated 

recertification authority for advisory 

councils, or groups, to the Commander, 

Seventeenth Coast Guard District, on 

February 26, 1999 (letter #16450). 

On September 16, 2002, the Coast 

Guard published a policy statement (67 

FR 58440), that changed the 

recertification procedures such that 

applicants are required to provide the 

Coast Guard with comprehensive 

information every three years 

(triennially). For each of the two years 

between the triennial application 

procedure, 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 not solicited 

prior to recertification during 

streamlined years, only during the 

triennial comprehensive review. 

The Alyeska Pipeline Service 

Company pays the PWSRCAC $2.9 

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, non-profit 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 ‘‘alternate 

voluntary advisory group.’’ 

Alyeska funds the PWSRCAC, and the 

Coast Guard makes sure the PWSRCRC 

operates in a fashion that is broadly 

consistent with OPA 90. 

Recertification: By letter dated March 

10, 2009, the Commander, Seventeenth 

Coast Guard, certified that the 

PWSRCAC qualifies as an alternative 

voluntary advisory group under 33 

U.S.C. 2732(o). This recertification 

terminates on February 28, 2010. 

Dated: March 17, 2009. 

A.E. Brooks, 

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander, 

Seventeenth Coast Guard District.
