SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the availability of Draft Guidance
for the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP). The fiscal year 2001
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State
created the CIAP.
The CIAP will direct approximately $145 million to the outer
continental shelf oil and gas producing states of Alaska, Alabama,
California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and the
approximately 150 coastal political subdivisions within those states to
help mitigate the impacts of OCS activities and protect coastal
resources. The CIAP requires these states to submit Coastal Impact
Assistance Plans detailing how the funds will be expended. This
guidance provides the information necessary for eligible states and
coastal political subdivisions to develop CIAP plans and submit them to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) by July 1,
2001.
