Sec. 930.58  Necessary data and information.

    (a) The applicant shall furnish the State agency with necessary data 
and information along with the consistency certification. Such 
information and data shall include the following:
    (1) A detailed description of the proposed activity, its associated 
facilities, the coastal effects, and comprehensive data and information 
sufficient to support the applicant's consistency certification. Maps, 
diagrams, technical data and other relevant material shall be submitted 
when a written description alone will not adequately describe the 
proposal (a copy of the federal application and all supporting material 
provided to the Federal agency should also be submitted to the State 
agency);
    (2) Information specifically identified in the management program as 
required necessary data and information for an applicant's consistency 
certification. The management program as originally approved or amended 
(pursuant to 15 CFR part 923, subpart H) may describe data and 
information necessary to assess the consistency of federal license or 
permit activities. Necessary data and information may include State or 
local government permits or permit applications which are required for 
the proposed activity. Required data and information may not include 
confidential and proprietary material; and
    (3) An evaluation that includes a set of findings relating the 
coastal effects of the proposal and its associated facilities to the 
relevant enforceable policies of the management program. Applicants 
shall demonstrate that the activity will be consistent with the 
enforceable policies of the management program. Applicants shall 
demonstrate adequate consideration of policies which are in the nature 
of recommendations. Applicants need not make findings with respect to 
coastal effects for which the management program does not contain 
enforceable or recommended policies.
    (b) At the request of the applicant, interested parties who have 
access to information and data required by this section may provide the 
State agency with all or part of the material required. Furthermore, 
upon request by the applicant, the State agency shall provide assistance 
for developing the assessment and findings required by this section.
    (c) When satisfied that adequate protection against public 
disclosure exists, applicants should provide the State agency with 
confidential and proprietary information which the State agency 
maintains is necessary to make a reasoned decision on the consistency of 
the proposal. State agency requests for such information must be related 
to the necessity of having such information to assess adequately the 
coastal effects of the proposal.
