 Subpart H_Amendments to and Termination of Approved Management Programs

 

Sec. 923.82  Amendment review/approval procedures.



    (a) Upon submission by a State of its amendment request, OCRM will 

review the request to determine preliminarily if the management program, 

if changed according to the amendment request, still will constitute an 

approvable program. In making this determination, OCRM will determine 

whether the state has satisfied the applicable program approvability 

criteria of subsection 306(d) of the Act.

    (b) If the Assistant Administrator, as a preliminary matter, 

determines that the management program, if changed, would no longer 

constitute an approvable program, or if any of the procedural 

requirements of section 306(d) of the Act have not been met, the 

Assistant Administrator shall advise the state in writing of the reasons 

why the amendment request cannot be considered.

    (c) If the Assistant Administrator, as a preliminary matter, 

determines that the management program, if changed, would still 

constitute an approvable program and that the procedural requirements of 

section 306(d) of the Act have been met, the Assistant Administrator 

will then determine, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969, as amended, whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) is 

required.
