Summary

The State of New York has requested approval by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of changes to its federally approved Coastal Management Program (CMP). The program changes revise the language and supporting explanation of Coastal Policy 29 pertaining to the development of offshore uses and resources; add and remove State authorities; edit the CMP document to make it consistent with language and policies of these new statutes; and make other style and formatting edits that improve readability, clarity and uniformity in language and statutory references.
