State, and local agencies and members of the public. During 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.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1458.
