SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    The FY 2002 Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations Act directed 
the Secretary of Commerce to establish a Coastal and Estuarine Land 
Conservation Program (CELCP) to protect important coastal and estuarine 
areas that have significant conservation, recreation, ecological, 
historical, or aesthetic values, or that are threatened by conversion, 
and to issue guidelines for this program delineating the criteria for 
grant awards. The guidelines establish procedures for eligible 
applicants who choose to participate in the program to use when 
developing state conservation plans, proposing or soliciting projects 
under this program, applying for funds, and carrying out projects under 
this program in a manner that is consistent with the purposes of the 
program. Guidelines for the CELCP can be found on NOAA's Web site at: 
http://www.coast.noaa.gov/czm/landconservation/or may be obtained upon

request via the contact information listed above. The CELCP was 
reauthorized in under Public Law 111-111, the Omnibus Public Lands 
Management Act, as a component of the Coastal Zone Management Act. NOAA 
also has, or is given, additional authority under the Coastal Zone 
Management Act, 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 CELCP, 
under its current or future authorization, and facilitate the review of 
similar projects under different, but related, authorities.

II. Method of Collection

plans, project applications, performance reports and other required 
materials. However, respondents may submit materials in electronic or 
paper formats. Project applications are normally submitted 
electronically via Grants.gov, but may be submitted by mail in paper 
form if electronic submittal is not a viable option. Methods of 
submittal for plans, performance reports or other required materials 
may include electronic submittal via email or NOAA Grants Online, mail 
and facsimile transmission of paper forms, or submittal of electronic 
files on compact disc.
