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.

Acting Chief, Office of Marine Safety Security and Environmental 
Protection.
