The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (the federal agencies) invite public comment on the agencies' proposed finding that Georgia has satisfied all conditions on the 2002 approval of the State's coastal nonpoint pollution control program (coastal nonpoint program). The Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA) directs states and territories with coastal zone management programs previously approved under Section 306 of the Coastal Zone Management Act to develop and implement coastal nonpoint programs, which must be submitted to the federal agencies for approval.

Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program: Intent To Find That 
Georgia Has Satisfied All Conditions of Approval Placed on Its Coastal 
Nonpoint Pollution Control Program

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, and Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to find that Georgia has satisfied all 
conditions of approval on its coastal nonpoint pollution control 
program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (the federal agencies) invite 
public comment on the agencies' proposed finding that Georgia has 
satisfied all conditions on the 2002 approval of the State's coastal 
nonpoint pollution control program (coastal nonpoint program). The 
Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA) directs states and 
territories with coastal zone management programs previously approved 
under Section 306 of the Coastal Zone Management Act to develop and 
implement coastal nonpoint programs, which must be submitted to the 
federal agencies for approval. Prior to making such a finding, NOAA and 
EPA invite public input on the federal agencies' reasoning for this 
proposed finding.

DATES: Individuals or organizations wishing to submit comments on the 
proposed findings document should do so by July 26, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Comments can be made by email to: [email protected], or in 
writing to Joelle Gore, Chief, Stewardship Division (N/OCM6), Office 
for Coastal Management, NOS, NOAA, 1305 East-West Highway, Silver 
Spring, Maryland 20910, phone (240) 533-0813, to the ATTN: Georgia 
Coastal Nonpoint Program. All comments received will be posted without 
change to https://coast.noaa.gov/czm/pollutioncontrol/, including any 
personal information provided. The federal agencies may publish any 
comment received. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The federal 
agencies will generally not consider comments or comment contents 
located outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or 
other file sharing system).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the proposed Findings 
Document may be found on NOAA's Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control 
Program website at https://coast.noaa.gov/czm/pollutioncontrol/. 
Additional background information on the state's program may be 
obtained upon request from: Allison Castellan, Stewardship Division (N/
OCM6), Office for Coastal Management, NOS, NOAA, 1305 East-West 
Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, phone (240) 533-0799, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 6217(a) of the Coastal Zone Act 
Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), 16 U.S.C. 1455b(a), requires that 
each state (or territory) with a coastal zone management program 
previously approved under section 306 of the Coastal Zone Management 
Act must prepare and submit to the federal agencies a coastal nonpoint 
pollution control program for approval. Georgia originally submitted 
its program to the federal agencies for approval in December 1999. The 
federal agencies provided public notice of and invited public comment 
on their proposal to approve, with conditions, the Georgia program (66 
FR 49643). The federal agencies approved the program by letter dated 
June 4, 2002, subject to the conditions specified in the letter (67 FR 
38471). The federal agencies propose to find, and invite public comment 
on the proposed findings, that Georgia has now fully satisfied all 
conditions of the earlier approval of its coastal nonpoint program.
    Over time, Georgia has made changes to its program in order to 
satisfy the identified conditions. As explained in the proposed 
findings document, the federal agencies have determined that Georgia 
has fully met all conditions originally placed on its program. The 
proposed findings document describes how the State program has 
satisfied the conditions.
    The proposed findings document for Georgia's program as well as 
information on the Coastal Nonpoint Program in general is available for 
download on the NOAA website at https://coast.noaa.gov/czm/pollutioncontrol/.
