Congratulations to you and your staff! Your subject plan revision has been reviewed by the D9 Contingency Preparedness Branch and the District Response Advisory Team who determined the plan is in substantial compliance with reference (a), all applicable references, and that it is also available to the public on Coast Guard Homeport. 2. Please also pass along my thanks to your Area Committee (AC) for the outstanding effort that went into this significant revision. A total plan revision is a very challenging process and I appreciate the eno1mous amount of work you accomplished to meet the aggressive but necessary compliance date. Continuous improvement and maintaining the cmTent momentum will ensure that we are always prepared to effectively respond to oil discharges and hazardous substance releases wherever they may occur in our coastal zones. To build upon that constant improvement in the course of this ACP review, we identified areas for improvement by the Area Committee in enclosures (1) and (2). 3.
