SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NOAA Office for Coastal Management has 
completed the coastal zone management program evaluations for the 
States of Illinois, Indiana, and Massachusetts. The states were found 
to be implementing and enforcing their federally approved coastal zone 
management programs, addressing the national coastal management 
objectives identified in CZMA Section 303(2), and adhering to the 
programmatic terms of their financial assistance awards. In addition, 
the NOAA Office for Coastal Management has completed the national 
estuarine research reserve evaluations for Apalachicola and Delaware. 
The reserves were found to be adhering to programmatic requirements of 
the National Estuarine Research Reserve System. NOAA published in the 
Federal Register notices for public meetings and opportunities to 
submit public comments on the evaluation of these state coastal zone 
management programs (CZMPs) and national estuarine research reserves 
(NERRs). See 85 FR 56220 (Sep. 11, 2020) (Illinois CZMP); 86 FR 10034
