Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Coastal Zone Management
Program Administration.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0119.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 34.
Average Hours per Response:
Performance Reports, 72 hours;
assessment and strategy documents, 260
hours; Section 306A questionnaire and
documentation, 25 hours; amendments
and routine program changes, 15 hours;
CNP documentation, 240 hours; CZMA

In 1972, in response to intense
pressure on United States (U.S.) coastal
resources, and because of the
importance of U.S. coastal areas, the
U.S. Congress passed the Coastal Zone
Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16
U.S.C. 1451 et. seq. The CZMA
authorized a federal program to
encourage coastal states and territories
to develop comprehensive coastal
management programs. The CZMA has
been reauthorized on several occasions,
most recently with the enactment of the
Coastal Zone Protection Act of 1996
VerDate Sep<11>2014

(CZMA as amended). The program is
administered by the Secretary of
Commerce, who in turn has delegated
this responsibility to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Ocean Services (NOS).
The coastal zone management grants
provide funds to states and territories to:
implement federally-approved coastal
management programs; complete
information for the Coastal Zone
Management Program (CZMP)
Performance Management System;
develop multi-year program assessments
and strategies to enhance their programs
within priority areas under Section 309
of the CZMA; submit documentation as
described in the CZMA Section 306A
for specific construction, acquisition,
and educational projects; submit
requests to update their federallyapproved programs through
amendments or program changes; and
develop and submit state coastal
nonpoint pollution control programs
(CNP) as required under Section 6217 of
the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization
Amendments.
Revisions: The CZM performance
report guidance will undergo minor
updates that will ensure consistency
with NOAA/NOS grants requirements as
well as CZMA strategic priorities. The
revised CZM performance measure
guidance will provide clarification for
reporting on competitive and multi-year
awards, as well as additional guidance
on financial reporting requirements. The
revised Coastal Zone Management Act
Program Change Procedures revisions
provide a more efficient program change
process for states.
The CZMA Section 306A guidance
will also likely undergo minor updates
to address several technical issues that
arose from the 2018 guidance update as
well as clarify several minor policy
issues. However, NOAA does not
anticipate any changes to the record
keeping requirements or time estimates
for collecting the necessary
documentation.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion, depending
on the collection instrument.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: Coastal Zone
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1451, et
seq.).
