Sec. 923.13  Energy facility planning process.

    The management program must contain a planning process for energy 
facilities likely to be located in or which may significantly affect, 
the coastal zone, including a process for anticipating the management of 
the impacts resulting from such facilities. (See subsection 304(5) of 
the Act.) This process must contain the following elements:
    (a) Identification of energy facilities which are likely to locate 
in, or which may significantly affect, a State's coastal zone;
    (b) Procedures for assessing the suitability of sites for such 
facilities designed to evaluate, to the extent practicable, the costs 
and benefits of proposed and alternative sites in terms of State and 
national interests as well as local concerns;
    (c) Articulation and identification of enforceable State policies, 
authorities and techniques for managing energy facilities and their 
impacts; and
    (d) Identification of how interested and affected public and private 
parties will be involved in the planning process.
