As required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 "the Interagency Committee shall coordinate and cooperate with other nations and foreign research entities in conducting oil pollution research, development, and demonstration activities, including controlled field tests of oil discharges." The Interagency Committee interacts with the international R&D community through a number of venues and exchanges. The following are links to several international programs, initiatives, and stakeholders.
