The National Estuarine Research
Reserve System consists of carefully selected estuarine areas of
the U.S. that are designated, preserved, and managed for research
and educational purposes. Information is needed from states to
review proposed designations. Sites selected must develop
management plans and site profiles. Grantees must submit annual
work plans/reports.
US Code:

USC 451 Name of Law: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972
With the ability to provide
management plans through email and computer disks, the distribution
of paper copies can now be reduced to an estimated 30 documents per
management plan. This results in a savings of 65 hours and $15,992.
Site profile documents have been added to this collection, with a
total burden of 4,000 hours, and cost of $486. There is a net
burden increase of 3,935 hours and a net cost decrease of $15,691.
NOTE: removal of original IC was only so that request could be
broken down into individual ICs.
