Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP)

The CIAP Technical Documentation (242 KB) of the Methodology for Allocation Formulas is organized into five sections. Section 1 describes the statutory language and data sources referred to in determining the eligible recipients under the CIAP. Section 2 offers an overview of how the statutory language was interpreted and translated into a methodology and supporting calculations. Section 3 provides details for each of the data sources used in the calculations. Section 4 provides detailed explanations of the spatial calculations used to determine the minimum distance from each leased tract to each producing State and coastal political subdivision (CPS), and the length of the coastline of each CPS. Section 5 specifies the formulas developed to determine the final allocations to each recipient.
