The Oregon Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC), in accordance with its duties authorized in ORS 196.448 through ORS 196.453, has initiated a review of the Oregon Territorial Sea Plan (TSP) with the intention of recommending amendments to Part Four: Uses of the Seafloor. OPAC will submit any recommendations for amending the TSP to the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), which is responsible for adopting amendments to the TSP through a rule-making process. 

The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), in consultation with OPAC, is establishing a Territorial Sea Plan Part Four Working Group (TSP4WG) as a technical advisory committee to conduct the review and to draft amendment recommendations.  (DLCD) will assist OPAC as required under ORS 196.435, and will administer the TSP4WG meetings.

Working Group Chair: Tara Brock, OPAC Vice-Chair
