SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) recognizes that
impacts from Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas activities fall
disproportionately on coastal states and localities nearest to where
the activities occur. The program provides funds to seven states and
147 local governments to conduct a variety of related projects,
including construction and land acquisition. NOAA must review the
projects in accordance with the CIAP legislation before disbursing
funds. To expedite review, NOAA developed the CIAP Project Checklist
for the construction and land acquisition projects. The Checklist,
whose use is voluntary, asks applicants to provide project information
to allow NOAA to determine their eligibility under the CIAP as well as
eligibility under other relevant statutes (NEPA, etc.).
II. Method of Collection
Form submitted in paper or electronic format.
