The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 includes a provision calling for an annual review of Cook Inlet RCAC’s activities by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The recertification process is designed to ensure that Cook Inlet RCAC is meeting the mandates spelled out in OPA 90 and is representing the interests of the communities within the vicinity of the terminal operations.

The triennial review period allows for a public comment period. Comments may be submitted through the Federal Register here. Comments must be submitted by August 4th, 2023.
