the region, or in a State a part of which is in the region, for
which the project is proposed as part of the regional research
program.
(D) The Interagency Committee shall make recommendations on
grants in such a manner as to ensure an appropriate balance
within a region among the various aspects of oil pollution
research, including prevention, removal, mitigation, and the
