annual appropriations or other authorities, to issue funds to coastal
states, localities or other recipients for planning, conservation,
acquisition, protection, restoration, or construction projects. The
required information enables NOAA to implement the Coastal and
Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CZMA Section 307A), under its
current or future authorization, and facilitate the review of similar
projects under different, but related, authorities, including the
National Estuarine Research Reserve System (CZMA Section 315) Land
Acquisition and Construction program, the Coastal Zone Management
Program's low-cost acquisition and construction program (CZMA Section
306A), or the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
This collection covers the development of state coastal land
conservation plans, and collection of information specifically needed
for applying for and carrying out land acquisition, restoration and
construction projects, such as: Appraisals, property surveys and site
plans, legal documentation such as deeds, easements and/or plats, and
information needed for environmental compliance reviews. Such
information is collected from project applicants or sub-recipients,
which are typically state or local government agencies, but may also
include nongovernmental or tribal organizations.
The information will be used in evaluating project proposals,
reviewing the location and impact of proposed activities, documenting
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other
applicable statutes, and conducting due diligence on market value,
title encumbrances, property boundaries, proper recording of legal
instruments. No changes are proposed to the collection.
Affected Public: Primary respondents are State, Local, or Tribal
government.

plans, one time each year for project proposals, final grant
applications and due diligence materials for selected projects, two
times per year for progress reports.
