Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program: Approval Decision on
New York Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program
AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce, and
the Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to approve the New York Coastal Nonpoint
Program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the intent to fully approve the New
York Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program (coastal nonpoint
program) and of the availability of the draft Approval Decisions on
conditions for the New York coastal nonpoint program. Section 6217 of
the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), 16 U.S.C.
1455b, requires States and Territories with coastal zone management
programs that have received approval under section 306 of the Coastal
Zone Management Act to develop and implement coastal nonpoint programs.
Coastal States and Territories were required to submit their coastal
nonpoint programs to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for approval in July 1995. NOAA and EPA conditionally approved
the New York coastal nonpoint program on November 18, 1997. NOAA and
EPA have drafted approval decisions describing how New York has
satisfied the conditions placed on its program
[[Page 58590]]
and therefore has a fully approved coastal nonpoint program.
NOAA and EPA are making the draft decisions for the New York
coastal nonpoint program available for a 30-day public comment period.
If comments are received, NOAA and EPA will consider whether such
comments are significant enough to affect the decision to fully approve
the program.

site at http://coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/czm/6217/findings.html or may
