Interstate Consistency
Interstate consistency refers to: a) instances where a federal action occurring exclusively in one state (State "B") will have effects on the uses or resources of another stateís coastal zone (State "A"); and b) the ability of State A to review the action under the Coastal Zone Management Act and NOAA's interstate consistency regulations. Below are links to general information on interstate consistency and state interstate consistency submissions to OCRM under 15 C.F.R. part 930, subpart I.
- Interstate Consistency under the CZMA - Fact Sheet
- NOAA's Interstate Consistency Regulations
- Coastal States' Interstate Consistency Submissions to OCRM -- As described in OCRM's Interstate Consistency under the CZMA -- Fact Sheet coastal states must submit to OCRM for approval a stateís proposal to review federal actions occurring wholly within another state, pursuant to NOAA's interstate consistency regulations: 15 C.F.R. part 930, subpart I. Below are documents related to the interstate consistency proposals of those coastal states that have sought interstate consistency review under NOAA's interstate consistency regulations:
- New York's Interstate Consistency Submission to OCRM
- Connecticut's Interstate Consistency Submission to OCRM
- Pennsylvania's Interstate Consistency Submission to OCRM
- New Jersey's Interstate Consistency Submission to OCRM
- Florida's Interstate Consistency Submission to OCRM
- Florida has not yet formally submitted its interstate consistency proposal to OCRM. The State has initiated consultation with affected states and federal agencies on its interstate consistency proposal pursuant to 15 C.F.R. part 930, subpart I. Once this consultation process is complete, the State will coordinate with OCRM on submitting its proposal for OCRM review and approval.
