PART 930_FEDERAL CONSISTENCY WITH APPROVED COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS--Table 
of Contents
 
  Subpart D_Consistency for Activities Requiring a Federal License or 
                                 Permit
 
Sec. 930.55  Availability of mediation for license or permit disputes.

    In the event of a serious disagreement between a Federal and State 
agency regarding whether a listed or unlisted federal license or permit 
activity is subject to the federal consistency requirement, either party 
may request the OCRM mediation or Secretarial mediation services 
provided for in subpart G of this part; notice shall be provided to the 
applicant. The existence of a serious disagreement will not relieve the 
Federal agency from the responsibility for withholding approval of a 
license or permit application for an activity on an approved management 
program list (see Sec. 930.53) or individually approved by the Director 
(see Sec. 930.54) pending satisfaction of the requirements of this 
subpart. Similarly, the existence of a serious disagreement will not 
prevent the Federal agency from approving a license or permit activity 
which has not received Director approval.
