holding one or more public meetings, considering public comments, and
consulting with interested Federal, State, and local agencies and
members of the public. During the evaluation, NOAA will consider the
extent to which the territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands has met the
national objectives, adhered to the management program approved by the
Secretary of Commerce, and adhered to the terms of financial assistance
under the CZMA. When the evaluation is complete, NOAA's Office for
Coastal Management will place a notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the final evaluation findings.
