SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

Section 7001(a) of the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990 (OPA 90) established the 

Interagency Coordinating Committee on 

Oil Pollution Research. The purpose of 

the Interagency Committee is twofold: 

(1) To prepare a comprehensive, 

coordinated Federal oil pollution 

research and development (R&D) plan; 

and (2) to promote cooperation with 

industry, universities, research 

institutions, state governments, and 

other nations through information 

sharing, coordinated planning, and joint 

funding of projects. The Interagency 

Committee was commissioned with 13 

members and is chaired by the Coast 

Guard. Membership includes: 

—National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) 

—National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) 

—Department of Energy (DOE) 

—Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, 

Regulation, and Enforcement 

(BOEMRE)—formally known as MMS 

—United States Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS) 

—Maritime Administration (MARAD) 

—Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Safety Administration (PHMSA) 

—United States Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) 

—United States Navy (USN) 

—Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) 

—National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) 

—United States Coast Guard (USCG) 

—Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA), United States Fire 

Administration (USFA) 

Section 7001(b) of the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990 required the Interagency 

Committee to prepare an Oil Pollution 

Research and Technology Plan. The 

Interagency Committee prepared the 

original Oil Pollution Research and 

Development (R&D) Technology Plan to 

define the roles of each Federal agency 

involved in oil spill research and 

development. The plan was submitted 

to Congress in April 1992 and later 

reviewed by the National Research 

Council’s Committee on Oil Spill 

Research and Development under the 

auspices of the Marine Board. Using 

input from the Marine Board, the 

Committee revised the plan in May 1993 

to address spill prevention, human 

factors, and the field testing/ 

demonstration of developed response 

technologies. The current version of the 

plan, still based on Marine Board 

recommendations, is dated April 1997. 

The Interagency Committee is 

coordinating an update of the 

Technology Plan during the next two 

fiscal years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Program Background and Purpose 

Recipients will use the funds awarded 

under this notice to stabilize 

neighborhoods whose viability has 

been, and continues to be, damaged by 

the economic effects of properties that 

have been foreclosed upon and 

abandoned. In 2008, Congress 

appropriated funds for neighborhood 

stabilization under HERA. In 2009, 

Congress appropriated additional 

neighborhood stabilization funds under 

the Recovery Act. In 2010, Congress 

appropriated a third round of 

neighborhood stabilization funds in the 

Dodd-Frank Act. 

When referring to a provision of the 

first appropriations statute, this notice 

will refer to HERA; when referring to a 

provision of the second appropriations 

statute, this notice will refer to the 

Recovery Act; and when referring to the 

third appropriations statute this notice 

will refer to the Dodd-Frank Act. When 

referring to the grants, grantees, assisted 

activities, and implementation rules 

under the Dodd-Frank Act, this notice 

will use the term ‘‘NSP3.’’ When 

referring to the grants, grantees, assisted 

activities, and implementation rules 

under the Recovery Act, this notice will 

use the term ‘‘NSP2’’. When referring to 

the grants, grantees, assisted activities, 

and implementation rules under HERA, 

this notice will use the term ‘‘NSP1.’’ 

Collectively, the grants, grantees, 

assisted activities, and implementation 

rules under these three rounds of 

funding is referred to as NSP. NSP is a 

component of the Community 

Development Block Grant (CDBG) 

program (authorized under Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1974, 

as amended (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) 

(HCD Act)).
