SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 312 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), 16 U.S.C.
1458, requires NOAA to conduct periodic evaluations of federally
approved national estuarine research reserves. The process includes one
or more public meetings, consideration of written public comments, and
consultations with interested Federal, state, and local agencies and
members of the public. During the evaluation, NOAA will consider the
extent to which the state of California has met the national
objectives, adhered to the reserve's management plan approved by the
Secretary of Commerce, and adhered to the terms of financial assistance
under the CZMA. When the evaluation is completed, NOAA's Office for
Coastal Management will place a notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the Final Evaluation Findings.
Keelin Kuipers,
Deputy Director, Office for Coastal Management, National Ocean Service,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
