Mr. Chairman, rather than each individual applying on their own, should the department not be looking at an overall plan to submit one big application to the federal government, because I know that a lot of communities have concerns with regards to a clean up of their shore lines. If each individual is going to wait, I assume the department is just going to sit there until they are approached. What I am suggesting is, that if that is going to be the case, where they are going to let the individual municipalities, or groups, apply directly to the feds with the assistance of the department, then the department should be advising various groups of the program that is available. They should be making suggestions to them, that if they are concerned about this type of clean up, then here is the program that you can apply under, and assist them in that way, rather than the department just sitting there. They should be going out to the communities and explaining the program to the groups, or the communities.
