SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    A number of paperwork submissions are required by the Coastal Zone 
Management Act (CZMA) federal consistency provision, 16 U.S.C. 1456, 
and by NOAA to provide a reasonable, efficient and predictable means of 
complying with CZMA requirements. The requirements are detailed in 15 
CFR part 930. The information will be used by coastal states with 
federally- approved Coastal Zone Management Programs to determine if 
Federal agency activities, Federal license or permit activities, and 
Federal assistance activities that affect a state's coastal zone are 
consistent with the states' programs. Information will also be used by 
NOAA and the Secretary of Commerce for appeals to the Secretary by non-
federal applicants regarding State CZMA objections to federal license 
or permit activities.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents have a choice of either electronic or paper forms. 
Methods of submittal include email of electronic forms, and mail and 
facsimile transmission of paper forms.

approved collection).
    Affected Public: State, local, or tribal government; business or 
other for-profit organizations; individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,334.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of

technology.
