members of the public. During the evaluation, NOAA will consider the
extent to which the State of Minnesota 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.
