OR&R Meets with Congressional Staff to Talk Oil Spill Research and Coordination

AUGUST 5, 2016--On July 29, OR&R's Director, Dave Westerholm, and OR&R Acting Chief of Staff, Kate Clark, met with Congressional staff from Senator Cantwell's Office and the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to discuss the Oil Pollution Act (OPA).

In particular, the group was interested in interagency coordination under the OPA-established Interagency Coordinating Committee for Oil Pollution Research (ICCOPR) and research and development opportunities provided through the OPA-established Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) and other sources. This was a great opportunity for OR&R to describe and be recognized for its contributions in these areas. For more information, please contact Kate.Clark@noaa.gov.
