Requirement: The Federal Plan for Ocean Pollution Research and Development and Monitoring shall contain an assessment and ordering of those national needs and problems which relate to ocean pollution; a detailed listing of all existing federal programs relating to ocean pollution research and development and monitoring, with an analysis of the extent to which each program will assist in meeting the Plan's priorities; policy recommendations if changes are considered necessary; and a description of actions to coordinate the budget review process to eliminate duplication of effort. A revision of the Plan shall be prepared and submitted by September 15 every three years after 1979. Abstract: The National Ocean Pollution Planning Act of 1978, P.L.95-273 (as amended), calls for the establishment of a comprehensive, coordinated, and effective federal program for ocean pollution research, development, and monitoring. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in consultation with other agencies, prepares biennially a five year Federal Plan for the National Marine Pollution Program. The Plan is to include an inventory of existing federal programs, an analysis of the extent to which existing programs assist in meeting priorities, recommendations for changes in the overall federal effort where necessary, and a report on budget coordination efforts. To carry out the purposes of the Act, an interagency committee was chartered within the Office of the President's Science Advisor. The interagency Committee on Ocean Pollution Research, Development, and Monitoring (COPRDM) is chaired by NOAA's Deputy Administrator and comprises senior representatives from eleven departments and independent agencies. Its mission is to identify cooperative research studies and conduct external evaluation of federal efforts. The committee also seeks to avoid unnecessary duplication among federal agencies and seeks better planning and more effective use of available funds, personnel, vessels, facilities, and equipment. NOAA established the National Marine Pollution Program Office (NMPPO) to provide a focal point for coordinating federal efforts on a day-to-day basis. This office is responsible for updating the five-year Plan and coordinating implementation of the recommendations of the Plan. An interagency task force provides agency representation to NMPPO in plan preparation and implementa

tion.
