Sec. 923.53  Federal consistency procedures.



    (a) A State must include in its management program submission, as 

part of the body of the submission an appendix or an attachment, the 

procedures it will use to implement the Federal consistency requirements 

of subsections 307 (c) and (d) of the Act. At a minimum, the following 

must be included:

    (1) An indication of whether the state agency designated pursuant to 

subsection 306(d)(6) of the Act or a single other agency will handle 

consistency review (see 15 CFR 930.18);

    (2) A list of Federal license and permit activities that will be 

subject to review (see 15 CFR 930.53);

    (3) For States anticipating coastal zone effects from Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) activities, the license and permit list also 

must include OCS plans which describe in detail Federal license and 

permit activities (see 15 CFR 930.74); and

    (4) The public notice procedures to be used for certifications 

submitted for Federal License and permit activities and, where 

appropriate, for OCS plans (see 15 CFR 930.61 through 930.62 and 

930.78).

    (b) Beyond the minimum requirements contained in paragraph (a) of 

this section, States have the option of including:

    (1) A list of Federal activities, including development projects, 

which in the opinion of the State agency are likely to significantly 

affect the coastal zone and thereby will require a Federal agency 

consistency determination (see 15 CFR 930.35); and

    (2) A description of the types of information and data necessary to 

assess the consistency of Federal license and permit activities and, 

where appropriate, those described in detail in OCS plans (see 15 CFR 

930.56 and 930.75).
